S. Brad Dozier, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee, received a public censure today from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court. Dozier represented a client in probating an estate, and in the reopening of a recently concluded probate proceeding. Dozier delayed in taking proper action in both matters and failed to respond to his client’s communications. In the probate proceeding where Dozier filed a petition to reopen the estate, he additionally failed to seek leave of court to withdraw after being discharged by his client. By these acts, Dozier has violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.3 (diligence), 1.4 (communication) and 1.16(a) (duties following discharge).
