Attorney Martin Howie of Dyersburg, TN; Dumbo, slacker

The state of Tennessee unfortunately presented Martin Lynn Howie with a law license in 1990 after he graduated from the University of Memphis Law School.

The Board of Professional Responsibility found Marty guilty of the following misconduct.

• Failed to provide competent representation (Dumbo)
• Failed to act with due diligence (slacker)
• Failed to communicate with client
• Failed to expedite client litigation
• Violated or attempted to violate Rules of Conduct or knowingly assisted or induced another to do so, or did so through the acts of another
• Ordered to pay restitution of $5,742 to eight clients (victims)

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Tennessee Supreme Court punished Marty by gifting him with a complimentary 1-year suspension of his law license.

As we speak (ca. November 2017), Marty practices at 208 North Mill Avenue in Dyersburg, Tennessee.
