Which approach best meets professional responsibilities regarding these funds?

  • Place that portion in the lawyer’s operating account to keep it separate from the client

  • Distribute the relevant funds to the client and hold the portion in question in a trust account

  • Pay the provider the outstanding balance and forward the remainder to the client
