If your escrow or trust account is under investigation, treat the matter as urgent. These cases often involve audits, overdrafts, recordkeeping issues, commingling, or allegations involving client funds. Because early responses can significantly affect the outcome, it is important to speak with experienced professional discipline counsel before responding to the Attorney Grievance Committee. More detailed information on how these matters begin and proceed is available in our section Attorney Escrow & Trust Account Investigations in New York.
