MEMPHIS LAWYER CENSURED
On September 16, 2011, David P. Burlison of Memphis, Tennessee was publicly censured by the
Tennessee Supreme Court pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 9, Section 4.4. Mr. Burlison violated disciplinary
rules by using his attorney trust account for personal transactions. Mr. Burlisonâs actions violated Tennessee
Supreme Court Rule 8, Rule of Professional Conduct 1.15 (Safekeeping Property). Mr. Burlison was furthered
ordered to pay the expenses and costs of the disciplinary proceedings against him, pursuant to Rule 9, Section
24.3, of the Rules of the Supreme Court.
For these violations, the Supreme Court of Tennessee publicly censured David P. Burlison. A public
censure is a rebuke and warning to the attorney, but it does not affect the attorneyâs ability to practice law.
