SHELBY COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On January 5, 2022, Darryl Wayne Humphrey, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee,
received a Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
After a disciplinary suspension from the practice of law, Mr. Humphrey filed motions to withdraw in his
pending cases in which he falsely stated the reasons for his suspension. Further, Mr. Humphrey failed to set the
motions to withdraw for hearing and failed to accurately inform his clients of the reasons for his suspension.
By these acts, Mr. Humphrey has violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.3 (diligence), 1.4
(communication), 1.16 (declining or terminating representation), 3.3 (candor towards tribunal), and 8.4
(misconduct), and is hereby Publicly Censured for this violation.
A Public Censure is a rebuke and warning to the attorney, but it does not affect the attorneyâs ability to
practice law.
