CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Local attorney Travis Nathaniel Meeks was publicly censured Feb. 8 by Order of the TN Supreme Court.
According to a press release, Meeks is required to pay the Board’s costs and expenses and the court costs within 90 days of the entry of the Order of Enforcement.
Meeks is accused of falsely stating in a letter to an adversary attorney that he anticipated calling an expert witness, a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), who would testify that his adversary’s expert witness, also a CPA, was engaged in criminal conduct.
As a result, the trial was postponed and the adversary’s expert witness retained an attorney.
Meeks’ actions violated Tennessee Rules of Professional Conduct 4.1(a), Truthfulness in Statements to Others; 4.4(a)(1), Respect for the Rights of Third Person; and 8.4(a), (c) and (d), Misconduct.
