Court of Appeals of Maryland August 21, 2012, Misc. Docket AG No. 19 (Attorney Grievance Commission v. Ross)

McDonald, j.

An attorney has a duty not only to represent a client diligently, but also to act as a fiduciary with respect to client funds entrusted to the attorney and to maintain appropriate documentation as to the attorney’s services, fees, and disposition of client funds. That is true whether the client is a saint, a sinner, or someone in between.
