Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question
An attorney represents a construction supplier in settling a payment dispute. The client insists they did not collect any funds from new project contracts, but the attorney’s documentation shows recent receipts. The client believes this portrayal will encourage favorable settlement terms. What is the best course of action for the attorney?
Deliver the statement as directed while adding disclaimers about unaddressed receipts
Discuss your duty to act ethically with the client
Decline to relay the unfounded claim, as knowingly presenting false facts is not permitted
Provide the statement verbally but avoid submitting documentation that conflicts with it
Attorneys can shape negotiation stances for their clients and may withhold certain information. However, they must not knowingly communicate falsehoods regarding verifiable data. Presenting inaccurate information about finances contradicts professional standards that prohibit material misrepresentations.
