DAVIDSON COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On July 16, 2024, Marvin Don Himmelberg, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee, received
a Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
In defending a juvenile client against criminal charges, Mr. Himmelberg failed to appear for the clientâs
arraignment hearing, thereby jeopardizing the clientâs plea deal. Mr. Himmelberg also failed to refund any part
of the clientâs fee.
By these acts, Mr. Himmelberg has violated Rules of Professional Conduct RPC 1.3 (diligence), 1.4
(communication), and 1.5 (fees) 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.
