Knox County lawyer Jere F. Ownby received a public censure on Monday from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court. Ownby’s law license was suspended on July 7, 2017. Ownby did not timely notify a divorce client of the suspension, and he did not notify opposing counsel or the court of the suspension until September 2018.  Ownby’s conduct resulted in harm to his client, the opposing party, and the court. Ownby has also failed to provide a written response to this disciplinary complaint.
