Davidson County lawyer Ronald Andre Stewart was censured today by the Board of Professional Responsibility with the condition that he pay fees owed to the board. Stewart was retained to represent a client in a medical malpractice claim but delayed in filing the complaint and did not timely issue summonses on the defendants. Due to the delays, he dismissed the case without properly consulting his clients. Steward acknowledged that he violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.1, 1.3, 1.4, 3.2 and 8.4(a) and (c).
