HENDERSON COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On April 18, 2013, Bradley Glenn Kirk, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee, received a
Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
In 2010, a client retained Mr. Kirk to represent him in a personal injury case. After several months, the
client contacted the court clerkâs office and learned that apart from filing the complaint, Mr. Kirk had taken no
additional action in the case. The client attempted to contact Mr. Kirk, but his calls went unreturned.
Mr. Kirk abandoned his clientâs case and failed to return his file. By doing so, Mr. Kirk violated Rules
of Professional Conduct 1.3 (diligence), 1.4 (communication), 1.5 (fees), 1.16 (declining and terminating
representation), and 8.4 (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.
