SULLIVAN_COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On January 26, 2024, Charles Brandon Sproles, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee,
received a Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
Mr. Sproles represented a grandmother in seeking child support for the grandchild of whom she had
legal custody. The court ordered child support to be awarded to the grandmother. Mr. Sproles delayed more
than eight months in entering an order setting the child support despite multiple requests from his client. In the
intervening eight months, the grandmother received some of the owed child support by opening a case for child
support with the local state child support office, pro se.
By these acts, Charles Brandon Sproles has violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.3 (diligence), 3.4
(fairness to opposing party), and 8.4(d) (prejudice to the administration of justice) and is hereby Publicly
Censured for these violations with the condition that he pay restitution to his client of $1,572.00 within 90 days.
A Public Censure is a rebuke and warning to the attorney, but it does not affect the attorneyâs ability to
practice law.
