UPDATE: Hendersonville Police are searching the home of a disbarred former lawyer recently arrested for impersonating a lawyer and stealing $54,000. Andy Allman was set to go on trial next Monday for stealing from 20 clients in Sumner County. That trial was postponed after Allman was arrested on new charges yesterday.

The indictment says Allman stole $54,000 from a man named Mario Herrera after posing as a lawyer.
Allman is disbarred and has not legally practiced law since the summer of 2016.

The search went on for more than two hours. Police officers were seen in the crawlspace of Allmans home on Bonita Drive in Hendersonville.

The most disciplined lawyer in the history of the state of Tennessee has been arrested again on new charges. Hendersonville lawyer Andy Allman known for a lavish lifestyle and accused of cheating or stealing from 127 clients was arrested this morning.

FOX 17 News learned exclusively that Allman was arrested for impersonating a lawyer and theft of more than $10,000. These new charges come just one week before his Sumner county theft trial.

A State of Tennessee indictment accuses Allman of "unlawfully and falsely hold himself out as a lawyer to Mario Herrera, against the peace and dignity of the State of Tennessee." The indictment states that from December 16, 2014 to about March 3, 2020, Allman unlawfully took $54,269.11 from Herrera without Herrera's effective consent.

The indictment states that Allman did so by telling and convincing Herrera that the property was in a trust account, but was instead unlawfully coverted and used by Allman himself.

Allman is charged with stealing from 20 people in this case. He is also charged with a felony theft in Davidson county of $230,000.

In that case, Allman is accused of stealing the entire inheritance of the Bramble family. Baylor Bramble was in the news after he suffered a catastrophic brain injury in a high school football game.

Allman has delayed his trial for nearly two years by constantly changing attorneys. The Tennessee supreme court ordered him to pay 79 of his clients $320,000 in restitution.
