Mr. [redacted] has a number of misplaced concerns. Though he was my client, his mother actually advanced the funds to retain me. Consequently, any unused funds have already been returned to Mr. [redacted] ' mother, [redacted] Ms. [redacted] has received an itemized invoice detailing how the retainer was used. In speaking to Ms. [redacted] over the telephone', I do not anticipate any dispute from her regarding her money.
As for Mr. [redacted] ' assertion that an agreement was filed with the Court, neither Mark, the mother, the child support prosecutor, nor the Court has ever presented me with a copy of any such agreement, or an Order effectuating an agreement. This was despite my being Mark's attorney of record. This led me to conclude Mark never had an agreement, a point I attempted to reiterate to him many times for his own protection.
Lastly, as indicated to Mark in response to his threatening emails, a client has a liability to the attorney until the Court permits the attorney's withdrawal from the case. The moment that occurs, the liability ceases, and any unused retainer is returned to the appropriate party. The Court did not permit my withdrawal until September 29, 2017, The unused portion of the retainer was thereafter returned to Mr. [redacted] ' mother.
