WILLIAMSON COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On January 2, 2019, Timothy Alan Tull, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee, received a
Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court conditioned
upon payment of restitution of $2,000.00 and engagement of a practice monitor.
Mr. Tull, prior to the clientâs execution of a written waiver, failed to advise the client of potential
conflicts of interest or the desirability of seeking independent legal advice, and further failed to provide the
client with the opportunity to seek independent legal advice. Mr. Tull also failed to reasonably communicate
with another client regarding the resolution of a discovery motion and the imposition of sanctions against the
client.
Mr. Tull executed a conditional guilty plea in which he acknowledged his misconduct violated
Tennessee Rules of Professional Conduct 1.4 (communication) and 1.8(a)(2) (conflict of interest).
A Public Censure is a rebuke and warning to the attorney, but it does not affect the attorneyâs ability to
practice law.
