RE: ALBERT FITZPATRICK OFFICER, BPR #11629
CONTACT: M. PRESTON SHIPP

July 7, 2017
PUTNAM COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On July 6, 2017, Albert Fitzpatrick Officer, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee, received a
Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
On September 12, 2016, Mr. Officerâs license to practice law was suspended for failure to pay the
annual registration fee. While his license was suspended, Mr. Officer made several court appearances for
clients in Putnam, Overton, and Clay counties, and engaged in settlement negotiations in two divorce cases.
By these acts, Albert Fitzpatrick Officer has violated Rule of Professional Conduct 5.5 (unauthorized
practice of law) 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.
