HENRY COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On March 22, 2011, Richard L. Dunlap, III, of Paris, Tennessee, was publicly censured by the
Tennessee Supreme Court.
On October 8, 2010, a Petition for Discipline was filed by the Board of Professional Responsibility
against Mr. Dunlap alleging disciplinary misconduct arising from Mr. Dunlapâs plea of guilty to misdemeanor
domestic assault. Mr. Dunlap entered into a conditional guilty plea agreeing to accept a public censure for his
misconduct. Mr. Dunlapâs actions violated Rule of Professional Conduct 8.4, Misconduct.
A public censure is a rebuke and warning to the attorney, but it does not affect the attorneyâs ability to
practice law.
