RELEASE OF INFORMATION
RE: LATRENA DAVIS INGRAM, BPR #16657
CONTACT: STEVEN J. CHRISTOPHER

SHELBY COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On July 17, 2018, LaTrena Davis Ingram, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee, received a
Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
In the representation of a client in pursuing a medical malpractice claim, Ms. Ingram failed to comply
with Tennesseeâs statutory pre-suit requirements, which led to the dismissal of the lawsuit. On appeal, Ms.
Ingram failed to file a transcript or statement of the evidence as required by the Tennessee Rules of Appellate
Procedure, which resulted in the dismissal of the appeal and the assessment of court costs against her client.
By these acts, LaTrena Davis Ingram has violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.1 (competence), 1.3,
(diligence), 3.2, (expediting litigation), and 3.4(c) (disobedience to an obligation under the rules of a tribunal),
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.
