Washington County lawyer Brett Nathaniel Mayes received a public censure from the Tennessee Supreme Court Tuesday. The court took the action after finding that Mayes, under the penalty of perjury, falsely stated on two “Statement of Interest” forms from the Tennessee Ethics Commission that he had never filed bankruptcy. He had in fact filed bankruptcy in 2019. Mayes was required to complete the form while serving on a local planning commission. The court determined that his conduct violated Rule of Professional Conduct 8.4(c).
