Interview with Chief Disciplinary Counsel from Pennsylvania

I interviewed Tom Farrell, Chief Disciplinary Counsel for Pennsylvania. Some interesting takeaways (1) State authorities don't always agree with the ethics opinions issues by the ABA. Case in point: we had an interesting discussion about the recent opinion on nonrefundable fixed fees paid in advance. Spoiler alert- PA doesn't agree with the ABA. (2) the issue Tom's very concerned about are lawyers who suffer demential or cognitive decline. There's more interesting stuff.
