RELEASE OF INFORMATION
RE: JUSTIN GREY WOODWARD, BPR #26709
CONTACT: STEVEN J. CHRISTOPHER

April 11, 2019
HAMILTON COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On April 11, 2019, Justin Grey Woodward, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee, received a
Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
Mr. Woodward represented a client in a domestic relations matter. During the representation, Mr.
Woodward created a conflict of interest by exchanging sexually explicit text messages and emails with his
client. There was a significant risk that Mr. Woodwardâs personal interests materially limited his representation
of the client.
By these acts, Justin Grey Woodward created a concurrent conflict of interest in his representation of
this client in violation of Rule 1.7(a)(2) (conflict of interest) 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.
