The Tennessee Supreme Court has issued a public censure to Kentucky lawyer Darren Craig Lamb. A complaint was filed by an individual formerly in a romantic relationship with Lamb. Following the end of the relationship, the individual sought and was granted a temporary order of protection. The court found that Lamb violated the order by repeatedly contacting the individual, including posting notice of a suit for nonpayment of a personal loan on the individual’s front door. The suit was never filed but Lamb completed the section of the form normally filled out by the court clerk’s office to create the false impression that a suit was pending. Lamb was charged with harassment, stalking and contempt charges. He entered a no contest plea and received judicial diversion. The court determined that his actions violated Rules of Professional Conduct 4.1 and 8.4(b), (c), (d) and (g). The court conditioned the censure on compliance with a Tennessee Lawyers Assistance Program (TLAP) monitoring agreement.
