. OF THE
BOARD OF PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY
OF THE
SUPREME COURT OF TENNESSEE

IN RE: ROBIN JEFFREY GORDON, BPR NO. 14618 FILE NO. 34972~5~ES
Respondent, an attorney licensed
to practice law in Tennessee
(Davidson County)

PUBLIC CENSURE

The above complaint was filed against Robin Jeffrey Gordon, an attorney licensed to

practice law in Tennessee, alleging certain acts of misconduct. Pursuant to Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9,

the Board of Professional Responsibility considered these matters at its meeting on September

21, 2012.

Respondent employed an attorney with a non-active Illinois law license, not licensed in

Tennessee, to work as a paralegal in his office. The employee held himself out to clients as an

attorney by signing two letters with detailed legal advice, providing three receipts which listed

himself as an “attorney” with a billable rate of $250, and providing a business oard identifying

himself as “attorney at law.” Respondent billed the non~1icensed attorney at an unreasonable rate

and failed to ensure that the employee’s conduct was not the unauthorized practice of law.

By the aforementioned acts, Robin Jeffi'ey Gordon has violated Rules of Professional

Conduct 1.5 (fees) and 5.3 {responsibilities regarding non-lawyer assistants) and is hereby

Publicly Censored for these violations.
FOR THE BOARD OF
PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY
