SHELBY COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On October 21, 2019, Charles Edgar Waldman, an attorney licensed to practice law in Shelby County,
received a Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
Mr. Waldman failed to timely file a Motion for New Trial after sentencing of a criminal client which
resulted in the loss of jurisdiction over the case by the trial court and passing of the appeal deadline. Mr.
Waldman thereafter failed to protect the clientâs interests by requesting permission to late-file the appeal and
instead withdrew from further representation.
By these acts, Charles Edgar Waldman, violated Rule of Professional Conduct 1.16(d) (terminating
representation) and 8.4(a) and (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.
