Davidson County lawyer Charles Martin Duke was censured by the Tennessee Supreme Court on Oct. 6. The court found that while representing a client in connection with an ancillary probate matter, Duke failed to pursue the client’s legal objectives, and did not maintain good communication with his client. The court also found that he failed to notify his client that he was suspended from the practice of law on May 9, 2022. His actions were determined to violate Rules of Professional Conduct 1.3, 1.4, 3.4(c) and 8.4(g).
