SHELBY COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On July 15, 2024, Kathryn Nan Maceri, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee, received a
Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
Ms. Maceri represented a client in seeking the renewal of a work permit for immigration court. Ms.
Maceri failed to provide her client with competent and diligent representation. Additionally, Ms. Maceri failed
to communicate with her client and breached her responsibilities regarding nonlawyer assistants when her legal
assistant provided her client with an altered work permit. As a result, the work permit was unable to be used and
her client had to hire a new attorney to assist him in the renewal of the work permit.
By these acts, Ms. Maceri has violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.3 (diligence), 1.4
(communication), and 5.3 (responsibilities regarding nonlawyer assistants) and is hereby Publicly Censured for
this violation.
A Public Censure is a rebuke and warning to the attorney, but it does not affect the attorneyâs ability to
practice law.
