CLAIBORNE_COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On January 29, 2015, George Edward S. Pettigrew, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee,
received a Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
Mr. Pettigrew provided financial assistance to his client by providing her with the use of his personal
automobile while her cases were pending. Mr. Pettigrew falsely reported to the Board and falsely testified
before the court that he had not loaned his automobile to his client.
By these acts, Mr. Pettigrew, has violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.8(e) (conflict of interest),
3.3 (candor toward tribunal), 8.1(a) (disciplinary matters), and 8.4(a) and (d) (misconduct) 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.
