Hamilton County attorney James Dimmett Purple received a public censure yesterday from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court. Purple failed to diligently represent or adequately communicate with a client who had retained him in a quiet title action. He filed the quiet title action without naming essential parties and failed to amend the petition at the request of his client unless additional fees and costs were paid to him. He also filed pleadings that named parties in the style of the case when such parties were never included in the petition.
