Davidson County lawyer Dana L. Nero received a censure from the Tennessee Supreme Court on July 26. The court found that Nero gave her client erroneous advice about when he would be released if he pleaded guilty in a criminal matter.

However, release from a sentence of that length requires the approval of the parole board. Read the BPR notice.
