Washington County lawyer Jeffrey Dennis Johnson was today censured by the Board of Professional Responsibility. Johnson responded to an online review from a former client in which he gave details about the former client, including health and medical conditions and the type of case in which Johnson represented the client. Johnson also stated that the former client asked him to make false representations to the court. The board found that these acts violated Rule of Professional Conduct 1.9(c) and Johnson was censured. A censure is a rebuke and warning to the attorney, but it does not affect the attorney’s ability to practice law.
