His first instance involved neglecting clients' legal matters, failing to communicate adequately, and mishandling a contested divorce action by removing it from the calendar without proper notice (noethics.net). As a result, he received a censure from the Tennessee Supreme Court (noethics.net).
In a second instance, Green failed to communicate with clients in four separate matters, resulting in another censure (noethics.net).

This misconduct led to a stayed six-month suspension of his law license (noethics.net).
