LEWIS COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On July 10, 2017, Larry Joe Hinson, Jr., an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee, received a
Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
Mr. Hinson failed to diligently represent his client or expedite the litigation in his clientâs post-divorce
case. Mr. Hinson also failed to adequately communicate with his client and failed to timely comply with the
courtâs direction to submit a scheduling order in the case. Additionally, Mr. Hinson failed to timely respond to
multiple communications sent to him by the Board
By these acts, Larry Joe Hinson, Jr. has violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.3 (diligence), 1.4
(communication), 3.2 (expediting litigation), 8.1(b) (disciplinary matters), and 8.4(d) (conduct prejudicial to the
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.
