sh: Glad to help out. I also should have mentioned that SUSPECTING something is wrong and REALLY knowing it are often two different things. As lawyers, we have to be careful about our suspicions and make sure we can back them up. Also, while we have a duty to refrain from assisting a client in committing fraud (and I'm saying there was any in this situation) it is often difficult to withdraw from representing a client with whom you strongly disagree or who you suspect may not be entirely forthcoming because you must do so without causing any prejudice to the client's interests. This is especially difficult during a trial, administrative proceeding, investigation etc. Often withdrawing under those circumstances really undercuts the client's credibility. I sympathize entirely with Mr. Kemp's position as I have been there. Throw in a personal relationship with the client and you've got the makings of a disaster. Believe it or not most lawyers are decent human beings who often have to make tough choices. Sometime we do well. Others not so well. I'm giving Kemp the benefit of the doubt for the moment. JLA
