ROANE COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On October 13, 2022, Christopher Shawn Roberts, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee,
received a Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
Mr. Roberts was retained to represent a client in a bankruptcy proceeding. Mr. Roberts failed to take
proper action and failed to expedite litigation concerning the foreclosure of the clientsâ home. Mr. Roberts also
did not respond or communicate to inquiries from his client concerning the foreclosure, failed to keep his clients
updated on the status of their bankruptcy proceeding, effectively abandoned the representation and failed to
withdraw from the representation.
By these acts, Mr. Roberts has violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.3 (diligence), 1.4
(communication), 1.16 (declining or terminating representation), and 3.2 (expediting litigation) 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.
