RE: HENRY ALLEN NOHSEY, BPR #8756

OBION COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On April 21, 2016, Henry Allen Nohsey, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee, received a
Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
Mr. Nohsey represented a client who owned real property as a tenant in common with a relative and
wanted to purchase the relativeâs interest in the property. At the request of the client, Mr. Nohsey engaged in a
strategy to convince the relative that Mr. Nohsey represented an unrelated third party who wanted to purchase
the property from both the client and the relative, which was false. Mr. Nohseyâs client assigned the relativeâs
interest in the property, and then the client sold the property to a third party for $26,000 more than the price to
which Mr. Nohsey, on behalf of his client, agreed with the relative. The warranty deed transferred the property
from the client and relative to the third party at the higher price. Mr. Nohsey did not inform the relative of the
assignment.
By these acts, Henry Allen Nohsey, has violated Rules of Professional Conduct Rule 4.3 (dealing with
an unrepresented party) and Rule 8.4(c) (conduct involving misrepresentation). Mr. Nohsey 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.
