TENNESSEE LAWYER CENSURED
On March 28, 2019, Jerry D. Holmes, Jr., a Tennessee licensed attorney residing in North Carolina, was
publicly censured by the Supreme Court of Tennessee and ordered to pay the Boardâs costs and expenses and
the court costs within ninety days of the entry of the Order of Enforcement.
The Board of Professional Responsibility filed a Petition for Discipline concerning one (1) complaint of
misconduct. Mr. Holmes, while administratively suspended from the practice of law in Tennessee, prepared
and sent an email in which he improperly designated himself as an attorney at law in Tennessee. Mr. Holmes
executed a Conditional Guilty Plea acknowledging his misconduct violated Tennessee Rules of Professional
Conduct 7.1 (communications concerning lawyerâs services) and 8.4 (misconduct of the Tennessee Rules of
Professional Conduct).
A public censure is a rebuke and warning to the attorney, but it does not affect the attorneyâs ability to
practice law.
