The Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility offers advisory opinions on professional responsibility issues to licensed Minnesota attorneys and judges. Last year we provided over 1,500 advisory opinions. The issues opined upon ranged from what to do with disputed funds held in a trust account to complex conflicts of interest to attorneys liens to how to deal with difficult clients, opposing counsel and judges. Advisory opinions may be obtained by phone or in writing. Most situations can easily be dealt with over the phone.
