Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question

An attorney represents a landlord in a dispute with a property manager. During exchanges with the property manager’s counsel, the attorney states that the landlord never received any rent from the property manager, despite the landlord’s record of partial payments. The attorney believes this statement will lead to a faster resolution. Which statement best describes the ethical implications of the attorney’s behavior?

  • It was questionable because the attorney presented false information about payments to the other side.

  • It was allowed if the property manager’s counsel had access to the landlord’s payment records.

  • It was appropriate because statements during negotiations are generally categorized as opinions.

  • It was acceptable under certain conditions since a quicker resolution was the goal of the attorney’s assertion.
