DAVIDSON COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On July 16, 2015, James Gregory King, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee, received a
Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
Rule of Professional Conduct 1.15 (safekeeping property) requires that funds belonging to the client be
placed in a trust account and held separately from the lawyerâs funds. Mr. King failed to deposit and/or
maintain client funds which were paid for a court reporter in his IOLTA account. Additionally, Mr. King kept
personal and operational funds in his IOLTA account and paid personal bills from his IOLTA account.
By these acts, James Gregory King has violated Rule of Professional Conduct 1.15 (safekeeping
property) 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.
