Memphis lawyer Charles Edgar Waldman received a censure from the Tennessee Supreme Court today. The court took the action after determining that he failed to obtain a written fee agreement from a client and failed to deposit funds into his client trust account. The court also found that Waldman was not diligent in his representation of his client or the expedition of the client’s legal matter. Finally, after the client terminated the representation, Waldman failed to formally withdraw as counsel. His actions violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.3, 1.4, 3.2, 1.15 and 1.16(c).
