Shelby County lawyer Kevin Glenn Patterson recently received a censure from the Tennessee Supreme Court. The court found that Patterson failed to retain client funds in his IOLTA account after a client did not cash a check for a year and did not respond to various attempts to reach her. More than four years later, the client cashed the check which caused an overdraft in Patterson’s client trust account. Patterson immediately corrected the overdraft, disclosed the overdraft and cooperated with the Board of Professional Responsibility. He agreed to a conditional guilty plea that his actions violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.15.
