Q: I represent a client who, as part of discussions, mentioned that he obtained a blank check from another person and intends to forge the other person’s signature and cash that check. The amount of the check would be in the range of $150 to $200. Do I have an obligation to report that misconduct?
A: The applicable Rule of Professional Conduct is Rule 1.6. That rule precludes a lawyer from revealing any information relating to the representation of the client without the client’s consent.
