In one matter, Mike directed an associate attorney in his firm to charge time spent working on a matter for Mike’s father to another firm client who paid a fixed annual retainer for legal services.

In addition, Mike engaged in dishonesty when he submitted to his firm, in the course of an internal investigation, a purported client letter of recommendation that he had written, but which the client had not approved and had expressly instructed him not to use.
