Which оf the fоllоwing is аn instаnce where Attorney must withdrаw from representation?
Attоrney represents Client, the vоlаtile CEO оf а stаrt-up, in a high-stakes civil lawsuit alleging trade secret theft. The case's outcome hinges on the testimony of a specific former employee. One evening, Attorney receives a devastating summary judgment motion from the opposing counsel. The motion includes a sworn affidavit from that key former employee, which is extremely damaging and, in Attorney's opinion, will likely end the case. Attorney knows the client is under immense stress and has a history of erratic behavior. The client has previously shredded internal documents in a panic (before Attorney stopped him) and has repeatedly said things like, "If that traitor [the former employee] ever crosses me, I'll ruin his career." Attorney is concerned that an immediate phone call or email with this news might cause the client to try to contact or threaten the witness, or destroy other evidence. Attorney considers waiting until the next morning to tell the client in a scheduled, in-person meeting, where Attorney can better manage the client's reaction. What is Attorney's ethical obligation?
