Hendersonville attorney censured
David Donovan//April 29, 2021//
Attorney: Tamara M. Lee
Location: Hendersonville
Bar membership: Member since 2015
Disciplinary action: Censured on Feb. 15
Background: Lee’s associate erroneously agreed to enter into consent orders in two child support cases in which Lee represented the respondents. Lee approached the judge ex parte with orders to set aside in both cases, representing to the court that opposing counsel had consented to their entry. One of the orders contained a finding of fact stating that the client was disabled when there was no evidence aside from the client’s bare assertion to support this finding and Lee had never raised the issue with opposing counsel. The judge entered the orders but later set them aside after learning that they’d been entered without opposing counsel’s knowledge or consent.
Previous discipline: None
