MEMPHIS LAWYER CENSURED
On October 16, 2013, Samuel Jones of Memphis, Tennessee, was Publicly Censured by the Tennessee
Supreme Court pursuant to Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Section 4.4.
Mr. Jones failed to adequately communicate with a client during his representation in a divorce
proceeding. Mr. Jones also failed to diligently represent the client which led to the courtâs dismissal of the
clientâs case 011 two separate occasions for lack of prosecution.
By these acts, Mr. Jones has violated Rule 1.3 (diligence), 1.4 (communication), 3.2 (expediting
litigation), and 8.4(a) and (d) (misconduct) of the Rules of Professional Conduct and is hereby Publicly

practice law.
