DAVIDSON COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On October 1, 2019, Scott David Johannessen, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee,
received a Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
Mr. Johannessen assisted a client in preparing an appellate brief to be filed in the United States Court of
Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. Thereafter, in a substantially related matter, Mr. Johannessen filed pleadings on
behalf of a separate client which had interests materially adverse to those of his former client.
By these acts, Scott David Johannessen has violated Rule of Professional Conduct 1.9(a) (Duties to
Former Clients) and 8.4(a) (Misconduct) and 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.
