LAWRENCE_COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On December 30, 2021, Thomas Joseph Dancison, Jr., an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee,
received a Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
Mr. Dancison represented a client in a domestic matter. During the representation, Mr. Dancison
created a conflict of interest by engaging in sexualized conversation and conduct. Mr. Dancison pled guilty to
simple assault pursuant to Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-13-101(a)(3) for intentional or knowing physical contact with
a client that a reasonable person would consider âextremely offensive or provocative.â
By these acts, Mr. Dancison, has violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.7 (conflict of interest: current
client) and 8.4 (misconduct) 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.
