KNOXVILLE LAWYER CENSURED
On April 16, 2013, Ta Kisha Fitzgerald of Knoxville, Tennessee, received a public censure from the
Tennessee Supreme Court.
The Board of Professional Responsibility filed a Petition for Discipline against Ms. Fitzgerald pursuant
to Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9. Ms. Fitzgerald submitted a conditional guilty plea acknowledging
violations of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 8, Rules of Professional Conduct 3.4(d), Fairness to the Opposing
Party and Counsel; 3.8(d), Special Responsibilities of a Prosecutor; and 8.4(a) and (d), Misconduct. In her
capacity as an Assistant District Attorney, Ms. Fitzgerald failed to make a timely disclosure to the defense of
letters written by the defendant and of phone calls by the defendant.
A public censure is a rebuke and warning to the attorney, but it does not affect the attorneyâs ability to
practice law.
