KNOXVILLE CORPORATE COUNSEL CENSURED
On October 23, 2020, Michael Edward Casas, an attorney serving as corporate counsel in Knoxville,
received a Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
Mr. Casas is licensed to practice law in the states of Florida and New York. Mr. Casas accepted a
corporate counsel position in the state of Tennessee without timely registering with the Board of Law
Examiners and the Board of Professional Responsibility. Mr. Casas provided legal services to his employer for
a period of eight (8) months before he completed the proper registration requirements.
By these acts, Michael Edward Casas has violated Rule of Professional Conduct 5.5(a) (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.
