Davidson County lawyer Andrew Jackson Dancy III was censured by the Tennessee Supreme Court on Sept. 17. The court took that action after it determined that Dancy (1) associated with at least two Pennsylvania attorneys on foreclosure matters although he was not licensed in that state, (2) failed to supervise his non-attorney staff to ensure the Pennsylvania attorney was notified and retained to assist in representation, and (3) failed to deposit client funds into his IOLTA account. His actions violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.15 and 5.3. The court conditioned the censure on Dancy paying restitution to his client in the amount of $2,400 as well as the costs of the disciplinary proceeding.
