Professional misconduct
This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority.Censured
issued in TN, 2014updated
When an attorney is censured it means he or she did something wrong but may still practice law. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
Perry’s comment: “The action did not affect my ability to be a lawyer or practice law. The Board found at a former firm that I personally did not manage or mishandle funds or benefit from another lawyer’s acts regarding funds and did not challenge my integrity and honesty. I was found not to have sufficiently kept an eye on another lawyer in the former firm regarding rules about trust accounts. Serious charges are pending against the other lawyer. Two years have passed since I was in practice with him.”

Lee Dryer, General practice Attorney on Jun 15, 2015
Relationship: Co-worker
I endorse this lawyer strongly. Perry is extremely intelligent with an orientation to detail. He is about as diligent an attorney as I have ever seen, and is one of the preeminent experts on constitutional law in Tennessee.
Douglas Berry, Litigation Attorney on Apr 20, 2015
Relationship: Supervised lawyer
I endorse this lawyer. I was a colleague of the attorney at the Tennessee Attorney General's office in the 1980s and eventually his supervisor. I have also known him as a personal friend and member of the bar since that time. His scholarship and skills as a trial lawyer are of the highest order as is his personal integrity. He is tenacious and an effective advocate for his clients.
