KNOX_COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On July 15, 2025, Jonathan William Doolan, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee, received
a Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
Mr. Doolan filed a lawsuit for a client in Knox County Circuit Court, and an answer was filed. Mr.
Doolan took no further action. Three years later, the Court issued a notice of a trial date. Mr. Doolan did not
appear at the scheduled trial. Neither opposing counsel nor the Court was aware of the suspension of Mr.
Doolanâs license. The lawsuit was dismissed.
By these acts, Jonathan William Doolan has violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.1 (competence),
1.3 (diligence), 1.16 (termination of representation), 3.2 (expediting litigation), 3.4 (fairness to opposing party),
8.1 (disciplinary matters), and 8.4 (prejudice to the administration of justice) 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.
