CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA LAWYER CENSURED
On August 27, 2015, Aaron Alexander Smith, of Charlotte, North Carolina, an attorney licensed to
practice law in Tennessee, received a Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the
Tennessee Supreme Court.
Mr. Smith harassed and threatened a former acquaintance resulting in the issuance of a Restraining
Order, the institution of misdemeanor criminal charges, and the filing of a civil action. Mr. Smith successfully
completed a pre-trial intervention program and the criminal charges were dismissed and expunged. Mr. Smith
reached a confidential settlement with the former acquaintance and the civil action was dismissed.
By these acts, Aaron Alexander Smith violated Rule of Professional Conduct 8.4(b) (misconduct) and is
hereby Publicly Censured for these violations.
A Public Censure is a rebuke and warning to the attorney, but it does not affect the attorneyâs ability to
practice law.
