Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question
Attorney Smith discovers that Attorney Jones has been consistently overbilling clients by adding exaggerated hours to their accounts. According to the MRPC, what should Attorney Smith do regarding this information?
Confront Attorney Jones privately and monitor the situation without reporting.
Choose not to address the overbilling if no clients raise concerns.
Report the misconduct to the appropriate disciplinary authority.
Inform the clients regarding Attorney Jones’s billing practices in an appropriate manner.
Under the MRPC, specifically Rule 8.3, a lawyer is required to report another lawyer's professional misconduct that raises a substantial question about the lawyer's honesty or trustworthiness. Overbilling clients by exaggerating hours undermines trust and honesty, thereby necessitating mandatory reporting. Other options either fail to recognize the seriousness of the misconduct or incorrectly categorize the reporting obligation.
