RUTHERFORD COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On July 9, 2014, Brandon Michael Booten, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee, received a
Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
In one matter, Mr. Booten failed to communicate with his client for extended periods of time and was
not diligent in his representation. In two other matters, Mr. Booten failed to communicate with his clients for
extended periods of time, was not diligent in his representation, and failed to submit orders to the court until
long after hearings were held in contravention of the local rules of court.
By these acts, Brandon Michael Booten, has violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.3 (diligence), 1.4
(communication), 3.2 (expediting litigation), and 3.4(c) (disobeying obligations under rules of a tribunal) 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.
