Censure For False Statement While Admitted Pro Hac VIce

The Tennessee Board of Professional Responsibility has imposed a censure of an attorney for false statements to a Kentucky judge during the course of a child custody matter.

The attorney had been admitted pro hac vice in Kentucky for the matter.

The attorney had falsely claimed to have spoken to a Kentucky Court of Appeals judge about the controlling law and falsely stated that a hearing in the matter was scheduled in Tennessee. (Mike Frisch)
