Attorney Angela Hopson of Jackson, TN; repeat offender

 
The state of Tennessee presented Angela Joy Hopson with a law license in 2003 after she graduated from the University of Tennessee Law School.
 
The Tennessee Board of Professional Responsibility found Angela guilty of the following misconduct.
 
Angela’s 1st bite at the Attorney Misfit Apple Tree – 2009

 
In one matter, Angela represented a client in a post-conviction proceeding, and the post-conviction court denied the Complainant relief. Shortly thereafter, Angela went on maternity leave. Because Angela failed to file the notice of appeal before the time expire, the client forever lost his right to appeal his conviction.
 
As a consequence of her misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Tennessee Supreme
Court punished Angela by gifting her with a complimentary censure.
 
Angela’s 2nd bite at the Attorney Misfit Apple Tree - 2013

  • Failed to act with due diligence (slacker)
  • Failed to communicate with client
  • Failed to expedite litigation
  • Engaged in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice
  • Engaged in conduct involving fraud, dishonesty, deceit or misrepresentation
In one matter, Angela failed to properly communicate with a client regarding post-conviction appeal and other relief.
 
In another matter, the Court of Appeal found Angela in contempt for her failure to file a timely brief and for her failure to follow the prior orders of the court regarding the filing of a status report.
 
As a consequence of her misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Tennessee Supreme
Court punished Angela by gifting her with a complimentary stayed 1-year suspension of her law license.
 
In truth, the comedians sitting on the Tennessee Supreme Court didn’t mete out any meaningful punishment to Angela.
 
As we speak (ca. March 2013) Angela practices at 423 North Highland Avenue in Jackson, Tennesssee.
