HAMILTON COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On January 13, 2014, Philip Rubin Strang, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee, received a
Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
Mr. Strang paid a personal expense from funds in his trust account resulting in an overdraft. Later, he
issued a check to his client for funds collected for his client, but there were insufficient funds in the trust
account.
By these acts, Mr. Strang has violated Rule of Professional Conduct 1.15 (safekeeping funds).
A Public Censure is a rebuke and warning to the attorney, but it does not affect the attorneyâs ability to
practice law.
