WILLIAMSON COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On January 7, 2026, Jason Scott Mangrum, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee, received a
Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
Following the residential foreclosure of and service of a detainer warrant upon an individual, Mr.
Mangrum represented the person in filing an action for wrongful foreclosure and breach of contract. In the
complaint, Mr. Mangrum improperly included a claim that the opposing partyâs actions constituted deceptive
business practices permitting treble damages under the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), which under
Tennessee law does not apply in foreclosure proceedings. The claim had no merit and misrepresented to the client
what recovery they might receive. In negotiations, Mr. Mangrum also suggested a settlement offer to his client
that he then issued to opposing counsel but later asserted that the offer was grossly excessive in light of the facts
and applicable law.
By these acts, Mr. Mangrum has violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.1 (competence), 3.1
(meritorious claims and contentions), and 8.4(d) (prejudice to administration of justice), 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.
