RELEASE OF INFORMATION
RE: ANDREW NICHOLAS WILSON, BPR #25760
CONTACT: PRESTON SHIPP
BOARD OF PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY

April 17, 2018
SEVIER COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On April 16, 2018, Andrew Nicholas Wilson, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee, received
a Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
Mr. Wilson represented a client whose case was moved from state court to federal district court. Mr.
Wilson was not admitted to practice in federal district court and failed to respond to the courtâs request to file a
motion to appear pro hac vice, to the courtâs show cause order, or to the courtâs order to appear. Mr. Wilson
was accordingly removed as counsel of record and reprimanded by the district court.
By these acts, Andrew Nicholas Wilson, has violated Rule of Professional Conduct 5.5 (unauthorized
practice of law), 3.4(c) (disobey obligation under rules of tribunal), and 8.4(d) (conduct prejudicial to
administration of justice) 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.
