Re: INTEREST EARNED ON LAWYER RETAINER FEES

More | Report Post

I'm a business man, not a
practicing attorney; but
I'd have to agree that
interest earned on money
belongs to the one who
own the money. Are you
telling me the courts steal
the interest off of lawyers'
clients' money. I find that
hard to believe, especially
that the Supreme Court is the
one who does it. Talking
of lawyers, I'll have to
talk to my own lawyer about
that.
