WILLIAMSON COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On January 13, 2017, Wendell J. OâReilly, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee, received a
Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
Mr. OâReilly commingled personal funds in the nature of earned fees in his client trust account and
failed to promptly remove the funds from the account. On multiple occasions, Mr. OâReilly paid personal and
business expenses directly from the client trust account.
By these acts, Wendell J. OâReilly has violated Rule of Professional Conduct 1.15 (safekeeping
property), 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.
