RELEASE OF INFORMATION
RE: ARTHUR WAYNE HENRY, BRP #9484
CONTACT: M. PRESTON SHIPP
BOARD OF PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY

January 28, 2016
LOUDON COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On January 25, 2016, Arthur Wayne Henry, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee, received a
Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
In 2012, Mr. Henry was hired to represent a client in a tort lawsuit for damages. After Mr. Henry filed a
notice of appearance on July 20, 2012, he failed to take reasonable steps to move the case forward. Based on
Mr. Henryâs inaction, the defendants moved to dismiss for failure to prosecute in January of 2015. Mr. Henry
did not file a response to the motion to dismiss and failed to appear when the motion was heard in March of
2015. Mr. Henryâs client was able to have the motion held in abeyance to give him time to employ a new
attorney.
By these acts, Arthur Wayne Henry has violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.1 (competence), 1.3
(diligence), 1.4 (communication), and 3.2 (expediting litigation) 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.
