JEFFERSON COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On April 7, 2026, Agnes Sipple Trujillo, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee, received a
Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
In an appeal from Campbell County Chancery Court, Ms. Trujillo failed to file the trial transcript with the
appellate court under Tenn. R. App. P. 24 and failed to file or request an extension to file a response to two (2)
dismissal motions, resulting in the clientâs case being dismissed. Ms. Trujillo failed to provide her client with
copies of pleadings in his case and failed to notify client that his case was dismissed. While Ms. Trujilloâs service
agreement provided for a nonrefundable fee of $7500, such fees are subject to the reasonableness standard and
based on the de minimis legal services provided, Ms. Trujilloâs fee was not reasonable. Ms. Trujillo failed to
maintain the clientâs file and never returned the file to client, hindering his ability to obtain alternate counsel to
seek further relief following the dismissal.
By these acts, Ms. Trujillo has violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.1 (competence), 1.3 (diligence),
1.4(a) (communication), 1.5(a) (fees), 1.15(d) (safekeeping property and funds), and 8.4(d) (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.
