RE: THOMAS MARTIN BROWDER, JR., BPR #11424

SULLIVAN COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On July 12, 2016, Thomas Martin Browder, Jr., an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee,
received a Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
Mr. Browder presented oral argument to the Tennessee Court of Appeals after his law license had been
administratively suspended. Mr. Browderâs conduct caused the Court to strike his oral argument from the
record. In another matter, Mr. Browder continued to represent a client in the same matter for which the client
had sued Mr. Browder for legal malpractice.
By these acts, Thomas Martin Browder, Jr. has violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.7 (conflict of
interest), 5.5 (unauthorized practice of law), and 8.4(d) (misconduct) and he 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.
