DAVIDSON COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On October 4, 2019, James Broderick Johnson, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee,
received a Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court
conditioned upon payment of fees to the Board of Professional Responsibility in the amount of $2,703.51.
Mr. Johnson made a misrepresentation to the court during a hearing. The court took a recess to give
Mr. Johnson the opportunity to discuss the statement with his counsel. When the court resumed the hearing,
Mr. Johnson acknowledged the misrepresentation and corrected the statement.
Mr. Johnson executed a conditional guilty plea in which he acknowledged his misconduct violated
Tennessee Rules of Professional Conduct 3.3(a)(1) (Candor toward the Tribunal) and 8.4(c) (Misconduct).
A Public Censure is a rebuke and warning to the attorney, but it does not affect the attorneyâs ability
to practice law.
