The Tennessee Supreme Court today issued a public censure to Rutherford County lawyer Jimmy Leo Richardson. The court reports that Richardson was hired to represent a client on a car accident matter. He sent a letter of representation to the insurance company and responded to a request for information from the company but thereafter took no action on the case. He failed to respond to four letters from the insurance company and multiple communications from his client. The court found that his actions violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.16, 1.3 and 1.4.
