SUMNER COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On September 29, 2016, Jon David Rogers, of Sumner County, Tennessee was publically censured by
the Tennessee Supreme Court subject to the conditions that he engage a practice monitor for twelve (12) months
and pay restitution to his former client.
A Petition for Discipline was filed on February 16, 2016, alleging that Mr. Rogers failed to respond to
discovery resulting in his client being held in contempt of court and ordered to pay attorney fees of opposing
counsel, and failed to promptly return his clientâs file after he was terminated by his client. Mr. Rogers entered
into a Conditional Guilty Plea admitting to the misconduct.
Mr. Rogersâ conduct violated RPC 1.3 (diligence); 1.16 (terminating representation); 3.2 (expediting
litigation), and; 8.4 (misconduct).
A Public Censure is a rebuke and warning to the attorney, but it does not affect the attorneyâs ability to
practice law.
