The Tennessee Supreme Court censured Rutherford County lawyer Kirk D. Catron on Jan. 14. Catron represented a client in a child support modification and did no work on the matter for 14 months. He then recommended the client settle the matter, and he provided a proposed order for the client’s review which included a blank child support worksheet. The client declined to agree until he saw proof of income of the mother. The next day, however, Catron entered the order without notifying his client or providing a copy to him. These actions violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 3.2 and 8.4(d).
