Williamson County lawyer Jason Scott Mangrum was publicly censured Friday by the Tennessee Supreme Court. The court found that Mangrum failed to obtain consent from his clients for the voluntary dismissal of their lawsuit. Following dismissal of the suit, Mangrum also made misrepresentations to his clients, falsely claiming that depositions were in the process of being scheduled. He also delayed in taking proper action for his clients throughout the representation. The court found his actions violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.2(a), 1.3, 1.4 and 8.4(c).
