MEMPHIS LAWYER PUBLICLY CENSURED
Memphis lawyer Curtis D. Johnson was publicly censured by the Tennessee Supreme
Court on July 27, 2004. Pursuant to Section 16 of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Johnson
submitted a guilty plea in exchange for a stated form of discipline. He acknowledged that he had
been negligent in the handling of certain client matters, that he had charged an excessive fee and
that he had failed to adequately communicate with his clients.
Pursuant to the guilty plea Johnson agreed to and has written an apology to Judge Polster;
Johnson shall make and has made restitution to complainant Savannah Robertson; and Johnson
shall have a practice monitor for a period of six months from the date of the final order in this
cause who shall file written monthly reports to Disciplinary Counsel regarding Johnsonâs progress
in establishing adequate communication procedures with his clients.
Johnson is required to reimburse the Board of Professional Responsibility the costs and
expenses of the proceeding.
