Attorney Joseph Crabtree Jr. of Athens, TN; ethical dwarf

The state of Tennessee provided Joseph Houston Crabtree Jr. with a law license in 1985 after he graduated from the University of Tennessee Law School.

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

• Failed to adequately communicate with client
• Failed to ace with due diligence (slacker)
• Failed to act with candor when dealing with trial court
• Engaged in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice
• Failed to tell client his presence was required at hearing
• Executed an agreed order w/o client’s consent

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

As we speak (ca. September 2014) Joey practices at 100 West Madison Avenue in Athens, Tennessee.
