Attorney Francis Deslauriers of Covington, TN; Dumbo, slacker

The state of Tennessee provided Francis Michael Deslauriers with a law license in 1986 after he graduated from the University of South Carolina Law School.

The Tennessee Board of Professional Responsibility found Franny guilty of the following misconduct.

• Failed to provide competent representation (Dumbo)
• Failed to act with due diligence (slacker)
• Failed to communicate with client
• Failed to expedite client litigation
• Violated or attempted to violate Rules of Conduct or knowingly assisted or induced another to do so, or did so through the acts of another
• Client lawsuit dismissed for failure to serve complaint on defendants

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the cheerleaders for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Tennessee Supreme Court punished Franny by gifting him with a complimentary censure.

As we speak (ca. July 2016) Franny practices at 214 West Pleasant Avenue in Covington, Tennessee.
