Wilson County lawyer Lindsey Leigh Lawrence received a public censure from the Tennessee Supreme Court today. The court took the action after determining that Lawrence failed to pursue her client’s legal objectives and did not maintain good communication with her client. These actions were determined to violate Rules of Professional Conduct 1.3, 1.4, 8.4(b) and 8.4(d). The court also found that Lawrence posted videos of herself smoking marijuana while identifying herself as a lawyer. By openly engaging in conduct that is criminally actionable in Tennessee, Lawrence demonstrated a lack of respect for the law and legal institutions, the court said.
