HAMILTON COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On July 12, 2016, Richard Korsakov, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee, received a
Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
Mr. Korsakov failed to diligently represent a client in a divorce action and failed to adequately
communicate with his client during the representation. Mr. Korsakov failed to appear in court for a scheduled
hearing which resulted in an adverse ruling against his client.
By these acts, Richard Korsakov has violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.3 (diligence), 1.4
(communication), and 8.4(d) (misconduct) and he 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.
