The Tennessee Supreme Court imposed a public censure on Cheatham County lawyer Terrance Earl McNabb on Sept. 18. The court reports that after McNabb was hired to file a child custody modification with the Robertson County Juvenile Court, he failed to assert multiple constitutional claims that may have resulted in a temporary order being thrown out. McNabb also failed to raise a claim for failure to prosecute and for the father’s lack of parentage being established, which could have resulted in an immediate return of custody to his client. These actions violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.1, 1.3, 1.4(a) and 8.4(d).
