SULLIVAN COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On May 10, 2019, Kay Jeffrey Luethke, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee and Virginia,
was publicly censured by Order of the Tennessee Supreme Court. On January 25, 2019, Mr. Luethke was
publicly reprimanded without terms by the Tenth District Subcommittee of Virginia for misconduct violating
Virginia Rules of Professional Conduct 1.3 (diligence) and 1.6 (declining or terminating representation).
On March 22, 2019, the Supreme Court of Tennessee entered a Notice of Reciprocal Discipline
directing Mr. Luethke to demonstrate why the discipline imposed by the Disciplinary Board of the Tenth
District Subcommittee of Virginia should not be similarly imposed by this Court. Mr. Luethke filed a response
on April 22, 2019, but failed to demonstrate reciprocal discipline was unwarranted.
A public censure is a rebuke and warning to the attorney, but it does not affect the attorneyâs ability to
practice law.
