FAYETTE COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On October 9, 2025, Leslie Adkins Miller, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee, received a
Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
Ms. Miller was representing a client in which her clientâs parental rights were terminated. Ms. Miller filed
a Notice of Appeal with Tennessee Court of Appeals. Ms. Miller failed to file timely documents as required by
the Court including a brief on behalf of her client. This resulted in her clientâs appeal being dismissed.
By these acts, Ms. Miller has violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.3 (diligence), 3.2 (expediting
litigation), 3.4 (fairness to opposing party and counsel), and 8.4(d) (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.
