WILSON COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On July 22, 2024, Lindsey Leigh Lawrence, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee, received
a Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
In the representation of clients in a civil proceeding, Ms. Lawrence failed to file a reply to a
counterclaim in compliance with applicable rules of court and failed to respond to written discovery, resulting
in entry of a default judgment and dismissal of her clientsâ claims. Ms. Lawrence also failed to keep her clients
advised of the status of their case or respond to requests for information. In a second matter where Ms.
Lawrence was appointed as conservator over the estate of an adult ward, Ms. Lawrence failed to pay the wardâs
ongoing expenses, resulting in her removal as conservator by the Court.
By these acts, Ms. Lawrence has violated Rule of Professional Conduct 1.3 (diligence), 1.4
(communication), 3.2 (expediting litigation) 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
pactice law.
