Penalties for trust account violations are some of the most common sanctions assessed against attorneys by their state bar. Violating your state bar's trust accounting rules can also subject you to disbarment, civil damages, and criminal charges. Protect yourself (and your firm) by building a strong understanding of the rules and ethical obligations surrounding trust accounts.
