SHELBY COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On October 24, 2014, Jennifer Sue Kiesewetter, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee,
received a Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
Ms. Kiesewetter was the sole proprietor of her law firm. Client funds which should have been placed in
the law firmâs trust account were deposited into the law firmâs operating account prior to being earned.
Additionally, Ms. Kiesewetter misrepresented the status of her law firm (which had recently ceased doing
business) in documents related to a prior small business loan. No clients were harmed, Ms. Kiesewetter repaid
the business loan, and Ms. Kiesewetter reported this conduct to the Board.
By these acts, Jennifer Sue Kiesewetter has violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.15 (safekeeping
property) and 8.4 (c) (misconduct), and is hereby Publicly Censured for these violations.
A Public Censure is a rebuke and warning to the attorney, but it does not affect the attorneyâs ability to
practice law.
