DAVIDSON COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On September 17, 2021, Andrew Jackson Dancy, III, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee,
received a Public Censure from the Supreme Court of Tennessee conditioned upon payment of restitution to his
client totaling $2,400.00, and payment of costs and expenses to the Board of Professional Responsibility.
A Pennsylvania resident hired Mr. Dancyâs firm to work out a loan modification in the pending
foreclosure of her home. Mr. Dancy is not licensed in Pennsylvania but associated with at least two attorneys in
Pennsylvania on foreclosure matters. Mr. Dancy failed to supervise his non-attorney staff to ensure that the
associated Pennsylvania attorney was notified and retained to assist in the representation in violation of Rules of
Professional Conduct 5.3 (Responsibilities Regarding Nonlawyer Assistants). Mr. Dancy also failed to deposit
client funds into his IOLTA account as provided in his fee agreement in violation of Rules of Professional
Conduct 1.15 (Safekeeping Property and Funds).
A Public Censure is a rebuke and warning to the attorney, but it does not affect the attorneyâs ability to
practice law.
