SULLIVAN COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On December 22, 2015, Jason R. McLellan, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee, received
a Public Censure from the Supreme Court of Tennessee and was required to attend at least six hours of
Continuing Legal Education related to law practice management.
The Board of Professional Responsibility filed a Petition for Discipline against Mr. McLellan based on
one (1) complaint of misconduct alleging Mr. McLellan failed to adequately communicate with a client about
the status of litigation, the dismissal of the case and the filing of a motion to set aside the dismissal.
Jason R. McLellan entered a Conditional Guilty Plea admitting that his actions violated Rules of
Professional Conduct 1.4 (communication) and 8.4(a) (misconduct).
A Public Censure is a rebuke and warning to the attorney, but it does not affect the attorneyâs ability to
practice law.
