MADISON COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On June 15, 2018, Bede O. M. Anyanwu, of Madison County, Tennessee, was publicly censured by
Order of the Tennessee Supreme Court. The Court ordered Mr. Anyanwu to pay costs and expenses to the
Board of Professional Responsibility.
On May 8, 2017, a Petition for Discipline containing one (1) complaint was filed against Mr. Anyanwu.
Prior to the final hearing, Mr. Anyanwu executed a conditional guilty plea acknowledging he delayed for a
period of fifteen (15) months taking the steps necessary to perfect service of a divorce complaint on the nonresident defendant. Mr. Anyanwuâs conduct violated Rule of Professional Conduct 1.3 (diligence).
For these violations, the Supreme Court of Tennessee publicly censured Mr. Anyanwu. A public
censure is a rebuke and warning to the attorney, but it does not affect the attorneyâs ability to practice law.
