Highlight
Evidence that the balance of a trust account fell below the total amount held in trust supports a finding that the lawyer violated N.D.R. Prof. Conduct 1.15.
A lawyer is permitted to disclose information related to the representation of a client when the lawyer is defending himself or herself in any proceeding concerning the lawyer's representation of the client, including disciplinary proceedings initiated by a third party.
A lawyer is required to comply with a hearing panel's order to disclose information related to the representation of a client during a disciplinary proceeding after the lawyer asserts all nonfrivolous claims to protect the confidential information.
