RELEASE OF INFORMATION
RE: RANDY PAUL LUCAS, BPR #19907
CONTACT: STEVEN J. CHRISTOPHER

SUMNER COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On January 13, 2017, Randy Paul Lucas, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee, received a
Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
In his representation of a client in an appellate proceeding, Mr. Lucas failed to file a transcript or brief
within the time prescribed by the Tennessee Rules of Appellate Procedure. Mr. Lucas also failed to comply
with deadlines established by the Court when given additional time to file his transcript and brief, which
resulted in the dismissal of his clientâs appeal.
By these acts, Randy Paul Lucas has violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.1 (competence), 1.3
(diligence), 3.2 (expediting litigation), and 3.4(c) (disobedience to the rules of a tribunal), 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.
