CLARKSVILLE LAWYER PUBLICLY CENSURED
On October 22, 2002, Gary M. Eisenberg, of Clarksville, Tennessee, received a
Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility. Eisenberg was given
notice of the censure and did not request a hearing.
A client retained Eisenberg in May 1999 regarding the repossession of her Jeep.
The client paid Eisenberg his requested $300.00 retainer on June 3, 1999. The clientâs
Jeep was repossessed three days later on June 6, 1999. Eisenberg misrepresented to
the Board of Professional Responsibility, when respondent received this complaint, that
his client had paid his retainer on June 15, 2002, when in fact the client had paid the
retainer on June 3, 1999 as reflected by Eisenbergâs receipt to the client. Eisenberg
neglected the clientâs case, failed to communicate with the client and made misleading
statements regarding the clientâs case to the Board and the client in violation of DR 1-
102(A)(1)(5) and (6); DR 6-101(A)(3) and DR 7-101(A)(1) and (4) of the Code of
Professional Responsibility. For these actions, the Board of Professional Responsibility
publicly censures Eisenberg. This censure declares Eisenbergâs actions to be improper
ethical misconduct, but does not limit his right to practice law.
