SHELBY_COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On November 26, 2025, Mark Anthony Lambert, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee,
received a Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
A client hired Mr. Lambertâs law firm for a personal injury matter. Mr. Lambert filed a complaint in
federal court and included his law partnerâs name when his law partner was not admitted to practice in the court.
Mr. Lambert failed to file a motion for pro hac vice admission for his law partner; he failed to attend the initial
case management conference; and he failed to respond to an order to show cause on why the matter should not
be dismissed.
By these acts, Mark Anthony Lambert has violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.3 (diligence), 3.2
(expediting litigation), 3.4 (fairness to opposing party), 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.
