DAVIDSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE LAWYER CENSURED
On July 9, 2025, Zachary Ty Carden, #036752, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee,
received a Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
Mr. Carden represented a client in a contested divorce action. Mr. Carden failed to take proper action to
submit his clientâs discovery responses, resulting in the entry of a judgment against his client for opposing
counselâs fees. After the divorce action settled through mediation, Mr. Carden failed to take action to facilitate
entry of the final divorce decree and did not respond to his clientâs requests for information, resulting in delay in
the finalization of the divorce action.
By these acts, Mr. Carden has violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.3 (diligence), 1.4
(communication), and 3.2 (expediting litigation) 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.
