Who cares if they were singled out or not? You violated the rules to the tune of more than a quarter of a million dollars over a three year period. Breaking the rules is breaking the rules and you should suffer the consequences.
I agree with “southern adjuster.” Claiming that one is being singled out may work for plaintiffs in a discrimination case. It is not a defense to a claim of attorney ethical violations. Some ethics rules are difficult to fully understand within the context of a given situation. Based upon the facts presented in the article, this was NOT such a case. The ethics rules exist for a reason, and when in doubt…err on the side of caution, not commerce. Attorneys are held to a higher standard. We know it, and most attorneys act accordingly.

Attorneys are such fine upstanding individuals, how could it possibly be that they would do a thing like this??? I just can’t believe it!!
