BRADLEY COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On January 22, 2013, John Allen Murphy, Jr. of Cleveland, Tennessee, was publicly censured by the
Tennessee Supreme Court pursuant to Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Section 4.4.
Mr. Murphy was administratively suspended on June 14, 2011, for failing to comply with his mandatory
IOLTA reporting requirements. During his temporary suspension, Mr. Murphy filed pleadings on behalf of
several clients with the courts in Bradley County. Mr. Murphy was reinstated to the practice of law on July 25,
2011.
By these acts, John Allen Murphy, Jr. has violated Rule of Professional Conduct 5.5(a) (unauthorized
practice of law) 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.
