LEWIS COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On January 9, 2015, 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 act diligently or adequately communicate with his court appointed client and the
court in a post-conviction matter. Mr. Hinson also failed to comply with the courtâs order and failed to take any
action in the matter after promising the court he would do so. Additionally, Mr. Hinson misrepresented to the
court and the Board that he had filed a pleading with the court when there was insufficient evidence of such
filing.
By these acts, Larry Joe Hinson, Jr. has violated Rules of Professional 1.3 (diligence), 1.4
(communication), 3.2 (expediting litigation), 3.3 (candor toward tribunal), 3.4(c) (disobeying obligations of
tribunal), 8.l(a) (false statement of material fact to Board), and 8.4(a) and (c) (misconduct) 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.
