RELEASE OF INFORMATION
RE: THOMAS HOWARD MILLER, BPR #017124
CONTACT: KEVIN D. BALKWILL

NASHVILLE LAWYER CENSURED
On July 10, 2018, Thomas Howard Miller, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee, received a
Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
Mr. Miller failed to adequately communicate with his client, and failed to diligently address the clientâs
needs. Mr. Millerâs fee was unreasonable based upon the time and labor involved and lack of complexity of the
case, the results obtained, and the failure to reduce the fee to a writing.
By these acts, Thomas Howard Miller, has violated Rule of Professional Conduct 1.3 (diligence), 1.4
(communication), and 1.5 (fees) and is hereby Publicly Censured for such violations. As a condition of the
Public Censure, Mr. Miller shall be required to refund $2,500.00 in fees directly to his client within 60 days.
A Public Censure is a rebuke and warning to the attorney, but it does not affect the attorneyâs ability to
practice law.
