NASHVILLE ATTORNEY CENSURED
On November 12, 2007, Fernando J. Ramos, of Nashville, Tennessee, received a Public Censure
from the Board of Professional Responsibility. Ramos was given notice of the Censure and did not request a
hearing.
Ramos represented a client in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Ramosâ Chapter 13 Petition for the
client was filed as a âPartial Petitionâ in that the original filing did not contain all schedules, statements and
required documents. The Clerk filed a Clerkâs Inquiry advising Ramos that the clientâs Chapter 13 Plan was
incomplete. Ramos did subsequently file some but not all of the required information. On October 16, 2006,
the Trustee filed a Motion to Dismiss which was granted by the Bankruptcy Court after a finding that the debtor
had failed to provide the required information. Ramosâ failure to properly and completely file the clientâs
Chapter 13 bankruptcy and the required schedules and documents violates Rules 1.1 and 1.3 of the Tennessee
Rules of Professional Conduct.
This Censure declares Ramosâ actions to be improper ethical misconduct but does not limit his
right to practice law.
