SHELBY COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On October 12, 2017, Paul Forrest Craig, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee, received a
Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
Mr. Craig represented a client in a probate matter. He was not retained to represent the client on appeal.
Nevertheless, Mr. Craig received and signed for notices from the Court of Appeals, which he essentially
disregarded. In addition, he failed to comply with a court order dated November 30, 2016, requiring him to
provide information about his representation and failed to comply with a show cause order dated January 23,
2017.
By the aforementioned acts, Paul Forrest Craig, has violated Rule of Professional Conduct 3.4(c)
(disobey rules of tribunal) and 8.4(d) (conduct prejudicial to administration of justice) 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.
