MEMPHIS LAWYER CENSURED
On December 26, 2013, Linda Kaye Kendall Garner of Memphis, Tennessee, was publicly censured by
the Tennessee Supreme Court.
The Board of Professional Responsibility filed a Petition for Discipline against Ms. Garner pursuant to
Rule 9, Rules of the Supreme Court. Ms. Garner submitted a Conditional Guilty Plea acknowledging violation
of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 8, Rules of Professional Conduct 1.3 (diligence); 1.5 (fees); and 8.4(a),
(misconduct).
Ms. Garner entered into a contingent fee agreement without reducing it to writing and failed to diligently
pursue the case on behalf of her client.
For these violations, the Tennessee Supreme Court publicly censured Linda Kaye Kendall Garner. A
public censure is a rebuke and warning to the attorney, but does not affect the attorneyâs ability to practice law.
