OF THE
BOARD OF PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY
OF THE
SUPREME COURT OF TENNESSEE
IN RE: Charles Brandon Sproles, #022298 FILE No. 73985-1-ES
Respondent, an attorney licensed
to practice law in Tennessee
____________________________________________________________________________
PUBLIC CENSURE
____________________________________________________________________________
The above complaint was filed against Charles Brandon Sproles, 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 this matter at its meeting on December 8,
2023.
Mr. Sproles represented a grandmother in seeking child support for the grandchild of whom
she had legal custody. The court heard testimony on the matter, including income information
from the two parents, and the court ordered child support to be awarded to the grandmother.
Respondent delayed more than eight months entering an order setting the child support despite
multiple requests from his client. In the intervening eight months, the grandmother received some
of the owed child support by opening a case for child support with the local state child support
office, pro se.
By the aforementioned acts, Charles Brandon Sproles, is in violation of Rules of
Professional Conduct 1.3 (diligence), 3.4 (fairness to opposing party), and 8.4(d) (prejudice to the
administration of justice) and is hereby Publicly Censured for these violations with the condition
that he pay restitution to his client of $1,572 within 90 days.
