Davidson County lawyer Mitchell Ray Miller received a public censure from the Tennessee Supreme Court on July 14. The court found that Miller violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.3 and 1.4 when he failed to respond to four communications from a client over the course of a month. The client had paid a fee of $2,996.50 to hire Miller to probate an estate. The client met with Miller, but Miller never filed the petition to probate the estate. The client ultimately hired new counsel. In addition to imposing the censure, the court directed Miller to make restitution to the client in the amount of $2,996.50.
