Summary:
Every lawyer knows that you can't misappropriate or commingle client funds, but so few lawyers know how to avoid doing it. This CLE is designed to help small firms and solo practitioners more fully understand their trust accounting obligations, while learning how to avoid some of the most common trust accounting mistakes.
