DAVIDSON COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On January 13, 2017, Jeffrey John Miller, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee, received a
Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
Mr. Miller was involved in a domestic altercation with his wife during which he was intoxicated and
threatened his wife with a gun. Mr. Miller eventually pled guilty to harassment (Class A misdemeanor) and
domestic assault with fear of bodily injury (Class A misdemeanor). Since his convictions, Mr. Miller has been
treated for substance abuse.
Mr. Millerâs conduct adversely reflects on his fitness to practice law in violation of Rule 8.4(b) (criminal
conduct that reflects adversely on fitness to practice) of the Rules of Professional Conduct, 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.
