KNOX COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On March 22, 2018, James H. Price, an attorney licensed to practice in Tennessee, received a Public
Censure from the Tennessee Supreme Court.
Mr. Price undertook the representation of two (2) long-time debtor clients in a complex Chapter 11
bankruptcy proceeding in the Eastern District of Tennessee during which the Bankruptcy Court found he failed
to follow Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure and Local Rules and Administrative Procedures, and failed to
disclose potential conflicts of interest, which the Bankruptcy Court detailed in an Order and Memorandum
Opinion entered September 30, 2015.
Mr. Price executed a conditional guilty plea acknowledging the Bankruptcy Courtâs findings and his
conduct violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.1 (competence), 1.7 (conflict of interest) and 8.4 (a) (violate
or attempt to violate the Rules of Professional Conduct). Accordingly, Mr. Price is hereby publically censured
for his misconduct.
A Public Censure is a rebuke and warning to the attorney, but it does not affect the attorneyâs ability to
practice law.
