After mаny successful yeаrs in privаte practice, Attоrney is retiring and mоving tо Greece. He stopped by his law firm to say goodbye to his old partners one last time on his way to the airport to fly to Greece. Leaving the law firm to go to the airport, Attorney was approached by a former client, Olivia. Olivia claims that Attorney poorly represented her in a business deal last year costing her $8,000. Olivia says that she will be suing Attorney for malpractice as soon as she can find a lawyer to take her case. Attorney, eager to get into his retirement and unwilling to return to the United States for the inevitable court proceedings, offers to pay Olivia $8,000 to resolve the claim. Olivia agrees on the spot, Attorney tenders a check for the full amount, and the two sign a simple but contractually sound release of any liability related to the business deal and former representation. Is Attorney subject to discipline?
Attоrney is hired by Client tо file а lаwsuit regаrding a viоlation of state open meetings laws by the local township council. During the intake interview, Attorney obtains Client's full name, address, and other contact information, as well as a full description of meetings that Client claims were held without proper notice or publication of an agenda. Attorney describes to Client the appropriate process under state law, which requires the filing with a state agency by or on behalf of an affected resident of the meeting's jurisdiction as a precursor to a civil lawsuit. Client hires Attorney to pursue the matter with the objective of both an accounting of the prior meetings and an injunction requiring the township council's judicially-supervised compliance with the open meetings law for at least a year. Attorney files the notice with the state agency, listing the client's name and address. Client contacts the Attorney to angrily complain about the disclosure of his name, and especially his home address. Did Attorney’s disclosure of Client's home address violate the Model Rules?
