Tennessee Attorney Cleared of Ethics Violation in Campaign Finance Dispute
July 21, 2025 - 18:48
The Tennessee panel responsible for overseeing attorney conduct has officially cleared a Nashville lawyer of any wrongdoing related to an alleged ethics violation. The case revolved around an incident involving a private investigator and the state's campaign finance director. In early July, the Board of Professional Responsibility informed attorney Cynthia Sherwood that it had dismissed the complaint lodged against her.
The ethics complaint raised questions about Sherwood's conduct during her interactions with the campaign finance chief. However, after a thorough review, the board concluded that there was insufficient evidence to support the allegations. This decision allows Sherwood to continue her legal practice without the shadow of the complaint hanging over her.
The outcome underscores the board's commitment to maintaining high ethical standards while ensuring that attorneys are protected from unfounded accusations. Sherwood expressed relief at the decision and emphasized her dedication to upholding the integrity of her profession.
