Attorney is subject to discipline for placing the money in her personal account even though Paul suffered no financial loss. Attorney was hired by two brothers, Cain and Able, who are charged with possession of cocaine. Cain was driving Able's car when he was stopped for a traffic offense. A large bag of cocaine was found under the passenger seat.

If Attorney decides to represent only Cain and the state calls Able as a prosecution witness, Attorney may not cross-examine Able with information obtained in his interview of Able.
