Davidson County lawyer Edward Kendall White was censured yesterday by the Tennessee Supreme Court for violating Rules of Professional Conduct 1.1, 1.3, 3.4 and 8.4(d). The court found that White failed to follow the approved process for securing an expert witness for indigent clients, which resulted in the witness being denied payment. The court also found that in representing a criminal defendant on appeal, White failed to timely file a transcript and statement of evidence, and later withdrew from representation without filing the documents.
