Georgia lawyer Eric Jason Byrd on Thursday received a public censure from the Tennessee Supreme Court yesterday. Byrd began working remotely for a Tennessee law firm in late 2018. In January 2019, he moved to Nashville and began working in the law firm’s Nashville office. However, he did not file an application for comity admission in Tennessee until May 16. In addition, his website and the letterhead used by the firm failed to indicate that he was not yet licensed in Tennessee. His actions were found to violate Rules of Professional Conduct 5.5 and 7.1.
