Attorney Robert Brooks of Memphis, TN; ethical gremlin

The state of Tennessee provided Robert C. Brooks with a law license in 1981 after he graduated from the University of Memphis School of Law. 

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

In one matter, Bobby negligently engaged in solicitation of attorney fees from a defendant’s family while he was serving as appointed counsel

for the indigent defendant in a federal criminal matter, without obtaining permission from the U.S. District Court prior to engaging in such solicitation, as was required by federal law.

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

As we speak (ca. August 2018) Bobby practices at 2299 Union Avenue in Memphis, Tennessee.
