SEVIER COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On January 5, 2009, Brent Edwin Lowe, of Sevier County received a Public Censure from the
Tennessee Supreme Court.
The Board of Professional Responsibility filed a Petition for Discipline against Mr. Lowe pursuant to
Rule 9 of the Rules of the Supreme Court of Tennessee. A Hearing Panel heard the matter and issued a Public
Censure which was adopted by the Supreme Court. Mr. Lowe violated the Rules of Professional Conduct by
failing to reimburse a client in the amount of $400.11 after preparing an inaccurate closing statement. His
actions violated the following Rule(s) of Professional Conduct: 1.15(b) (Safekeeping Property) and 8.4
(c)(Misconduct). Mr. Lowe was further ordered to pay the costs of the disciplinary proceedings.
For these violations, the Supreme Court of Tennessee publicly censures Brent Edwin Lowe. A public
censure is a rebuke and warning to the attorney, but it does not affect the attorneyâs ability to practice law.
