ROANE COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On July 30, 2012, Kent Lowery Booher, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee, received a
Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Supreme Court of Tennessee.
Mr. Booher failed to act with reasonable diligence in an estate matter, failed to maintain reasonable
communication with his client, and failed to expedite litigation. Furthermore, he misrepresented to Disciplinary
Counsel that he had filed a draft accounting and proposed final order with the probate court.
By these acts, Kent Lowery Booher has violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.3 (diligence), 1.4
(communication), 3.2 (expediting litigation), and 8.1(a) (bar admission and disciplinary matters), 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.
