RELEASE OF INFORMATION
RE: TESHAUN DAVID MOORE, BPR #27816
CONTACT: A. RUSSELL WILLIS
BOARD OF PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY

January 22, 2018
SHELBY COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On January 22, 2018, TeShaun David Moore of Shelby County, Tennessee, was publicly censured by
Order of the Tennessee Supreme Court. The Court further ordered Mr. Moore to pay restitution to his client
and to pay costs and expenses to the Board of Professional Responsibility.
On February 2, 2017, a Petition for Discipline containing one (1) complaint was filed against Mr.
Moore. Prior to the final hearing, Mr. Moore executed a conditional guilty plea acknowledging he
unreasonably delayed retaining an expert, failed to notify his client of the motion hearing date, failed to consult
with the client prior to entering a nonsuit of the case, and unreasonably delayed notifying his client of the
dismissal of the case without prejudice. Mr. Mooreâs conduct violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.2
(scope of representation), 1.3 (diligence), 1.4 (communication), 1.5 (fees), and 3.2 (expediting litigation).
For these violations, the Supreme Court of Tennessee publicly censured Mr. Moore. A public censure is
a rebuke and warning to the attorney, but it does not affect the attorneyâs ability to practice law.
