GREENE COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On March 31, 2026, Catherine Elizabeth Fezell, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee, received
a Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
On May 14, 2024, Ms. Fezell was scheduled to appear for a court docket to represent clients in multiple
matters. When Ms. Fezell failed to appear, she was contacted by court personnel inquiring about her whereabouts.
Upon arrival at court, Ms. Fezell was observed by multiple witnesses, including court staff and colleagues, to
appear to be under the influence. Due to her apparent condition, Ms. Fezell could not appear before the court, and
the scheduled hearings had to be reset.
By these acts, Ms. Fezell has violated Rule of Professional Conduct 1.1 (competence), 1.3 (diligence), and
8.4(d) and is hereby Publicly Censured for this violation.
A Public Censure is a rebuke and warning to the attorney, but it does not affect the attorneyâs ability to
practice law.
