Knoxville attorney Mark Steven Graham was censured by the Tennessee Supreme Court on July 29 for writing a check from his trust account to pay an office expense. The court also found that five months later, three automated withdrawals were attempted from the trust account, one of which was successful. Graham’s law license was suspended in 2022 and the court denied his petition to dissolve the suspension in 2024. Despite the suspension, Graham failed to deactivate his office website for at least 20 months and his social media incorrectly indicated for at least 34 months that his law license was active. His actions were determined to violate Rules of Professional Conduct 1.15, 7.1, 3.4 and 8.4(g).
