Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question
Attorney Taylor receives a $25,000 advance from a client to cover anticipated legal expenses. To manage these funds in accordance with professional responsibility requirements, what should Attorney Taylor do?
Store the funds in a separate account designated for client monies to maintain clear separation from personal or business accounts.
Deposit the funds into the law firm's main operating account and track them as client funds.
Use the advance to cover immediate case expenses and replenish the account as needed.
Transfer the funds to a personal savings account until they are required for legal fees.
The appropriate action is to place the funds into an account designated specifically for holding client assets. This ensures that client funds are kept separate from the attorney’s personal or business accounts, preventing any commingling and safeguarding the client’s property.
