SUPREME COURT OF ARKANSAS No. D-16-43
Opinion Delivered February 11, 2016 IN RE JOE THOMAS LYNCH, ARKANSAS BAR NO. 88132 PETITION TO SURRENDER ARKANSAS LAW LICENSE
GRANTED.
PER CURIAM
On recommendation of the Supreme Court Committee on Professional Conduct,
we hereby accept the voluntary surrender, in lieu of probable disbarment, of the law license
of Joe Thomas Lynch of Hot Springs, Arkansas. In his petition to voluntarily surrender his
license, filed on January 15, 2016, Mr. Lynch acknowledges that the Committee voted to
initiate disbarment proceedings in two separate cases. He believes the Committee could
produce sufficient proof in both cases, and that a trier of fact could find he violated the
Arkansas Rules of Professional Conduct. Mr. Lynch also states that he wishes to avoid the
expense, stress, and publicity of further addressing these matters.
The name of Joe Thomas Lynch shall be removed from the registry of attorneys
licensed by the State of Arkansas, and he is barred and enjoined from engaging in the practice
of law in this state.
It is so ordered.
