A veteran criminal defense and divorce lawyer who is licensed in multiple states has been publicly censured in New York after responding to a former Tennessee client’s negative online review of him, including by revealing the client’s health and medical information.

The attorney, Jeffrey D. Johnson, also disparaged the former client and revealed the nature of the client’s underlying litigation, when he shot back at the client online, according to an Appellate Division, First Department opinion that censured him under the doctrine of reciprocal discipline after he’d been first censured in Tennessee.
