DICKSON ATTORNEY PUBLICLY CENSURED
On August 7, 2002, the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Supreme Court of
Tennessee publicly censured Attorney Joseph L. Hornick for practicing law while
suspended.
The Tennessee Supreme Court suspended Hornick for 30 days by order filed January
29, 2002. While suspended the respondent met with a new client and accepted a fee
for the respondentâs representation of that client. The respondent contacted the Clerkâs
office and the Judgeâs office in an effort to obtain a continuance on behalf of his client.
Hornick then advised the Judgeâs office that Hornick had been suspended. The Judge
then advised Hornickâs client that Hornick had been suspended. Hornick subsequently
met with this client and gave the client a complete refund. The Board of Professional
Responsibility publicly censures Hornick for continuing to practice law in violation of the
Tennessee Supreme Courtâs order suspending Hornick for 30 days.
