The Tennessee Supreme Court imposed a censure on Mississippi lawyer Candace Lenette Williamson on Oct. 23. The court found that Williamson was paid to represent a client but did not take any substantive action on behalf of the client. She also was found to have deceived the client into believing she filed petitions in both Mississippi and Tennessee though no petitions were filed. Finally, the court found that she failed to respond to the disciplinary complaint against her. Her actions were determined to violate Rules of Professional Conduct 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.16, 8.1(b) and 8.4(a)(c)(d).
