WILLIAMSON COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On October 17, 2023, S. Brad Dozier, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee, received a Public
Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
Mr. Dozier represented a client in probating an estate, and in the reopening of a recently concluded probate
proceeding. Mr. Dozier delayed in taking proper action in both matters and failed to respond to his clientâs
communications. In the probate proceeding where Mr. Dozier filed a petition to reopen the estate, Mr. Dozier
additionally failed to seek leave of Court to withdraw after being discharged by his client.
By these acts, Mr. Dozier has violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.3 (diligence), 1.4 (communication)
and 1.16(a)(duties following discharge), 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.
