Shelby County lawyer Jahari Mabry Dowdy was censured today by the Board of Professional Responsibility. The board reports that it took the action after Dowdy failed to transfer funds into escrow while representing a client in a guardianship case. The board also reports that Dowdy did not respond to subsequent inquiries and directives from the court and the clerk and master, and failed to maintain good communication with the client. These actions were determined to violate Rules of Professional Conduct 1.1, 1.3, 1.4(a), 3.2, 3.4(c) and 8.4(g).
