KNOX_COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On July 29, 2025, Mark Steven Graham an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee, received a
Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
Mr. Graham wrote a check from his trust account to pay an office expense. Five months later, three
automated withdrawals were attempted from the trust account, one of which was paid. Mr. Grahamâs law license
is suspended, and he failed to deactivate his office website for at least 20 months. His social media has incorrectly
indicated for at least 34 months that his law license is active.
By these acts, Mark Steven Graham has violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.15 (safekeeping funds),
7.1 (communications concerning a lawyerâs services), 3.4 (fairness to opposing party), and 8.4(g) (failure to
comply with a court order) 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.
