Knox County lawyer Bret Philip Bryce received a censure from the Tennessee Supreme Court on Jan. 7. The court found that Bryce failed to act with reasonable diligence and promptness in representing a client, failed to communicate with his client about the representation, and failed to comply with a court order. These actions were determined to be prejudicial to the administration of justice, to cause a delay in the case for over nine months and to violate Rules of Professional Conduct 1.3, 1.4, 3.2 and 8.4.
