SHELBY COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On January 6, 2026, Brian Wade Lynn, 016796, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee, received
a Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
Mr. Lynnâs law license was administratively suspended on March 5, 2025, for non-payment of his
professional privilege tax. Mr. Lynn has not sought reinstatement of his license. At the time of his administrative
suspension, Mr. Lynn was counsel of record in fourteen (14) bankruptcy cases. After entry of the order of
administrative suspension, Mr. Lynn filed two notices in one of his bankruptcy cases. Mr. Lynn also significantly
delayed in providing notice to his clients of his administrative suspension, withdrawing as counsel of record, and
complying with his other obligations defined at Section 28 of Rule 9 of the Tennessee Supreme Court Rules.
By these acts, Mr. Lynn has violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.1 (competence), 1.3 (diligence), 1.4
(communication), 1.15 (safekeeping property and funds), 1.16(d) (protecting a clientâs interests following
discharge), 3.4(c) (fairness to opposing party and counsel) and 8.4(d) (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.
