DAVIDSON COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On January 13, 2017, Karl Emmanuel Pulley, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee, received
a Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
While representing a defendant in a criminal case, Mr. Pulley met with and obtained a statement from a
co-defendant in the case, who was represented by another attorney. Mr. Pulley failed to notify or obtain
permission from the attorney before communicating with the co-defendant.
By these acts, Karl Emmanuel Pulley has violated Rule of Professional Conduct 4.2 (communication
with a person represented by counsel) and is hereby Publicly Censured for this violation.
A Public Censure is a rebuke and warning to the attorney, but it does not affect the attorneyâs ability to
practice law.
