CALLOWAY COUNTY KENTUCKY LAWYER CENSURED
On January 8, 2025, Darren Craig Lamb, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee, received a
Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
A complaint was filed by an individual formerly in a romantic relationship with Mr. Lamb. Following
the end of the relationship, the complainant filed a petition for an order of protection against Mr. Lamb and was
granted a temporary order of protection. Mr. Lamb violated the temporary order of protection by repeatedly
contacting the complainant. Among other contacts, Mr. Lamb downloaded and completed a General Sessions
Court civil warrant form and posted the civil warrant on the front door of Complainantâs residence. The civil
warrant was never filed with the General Sessions Court. The civil warrant purported to show that Mr. Lamb was
suing Complainant for nonpayment of a personal loan. Mr. Lamb completed the section of the form filled out by
the court clerkâs office, including the date of the initial court setting, to create the false impression that a lawsuit
was pending.
Mr. Lambâs conduct led to the filing of criminal charges for harassment, stalking, and contempt charges
for violation of the order of protection. Mr. Lamb subsequently entered into a no contest plea in resolution of the
criminal and contempt actions and was granted judicial diversion.
By these acts, Mr. Lamb has violated Rules of Professional Conduct 4.1 (truthfulness in statements to
others), 8.4(b) (criminal conduct), 8.4(c) (dishonesty), 8.4(d) (conduct prejudicial to the administration of
justice), and 8.4(g) (violation of a court order), and is hereby Publicly Censured for these violations, conditioned
on Mr. Lambâs execution and subsequent compliance with a Tennessee Lawyers Assistance Program monitoring
agreement, pursuant to Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Section 12.8.
A Public Censure is a rebuke and warning to the attorney, but it does not affect the attorneyâs ability to
practice law.
