SHELBY COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On February 3, 2023, David R. Huggins, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee, received a
Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
Mr. Huggins represented a client in a criminal case. Mr. Huggins failed to take proper action in the case,
failed to expedite litigation, and failed to follow court rules and orders. Mr. Huggins also engaged in the
unauthorized practice of law and did not comply with court directives.
By these acts, Mr. Huggins violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.3 (diligence), 3.2 (expediting
litigation), 3.4 (knowing violation of an obligation under the rules of a tribunal), 5.5(a) (unauthorized practice of
law), and 8.4(d) (misconduct) 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.
