| An insurance company's lawyer learned that a personal injury plaintiff had fraudulently obtained a driver's license after several DUI convictions, and used an assumed name in a court appearance. The lawyer offered to settle the personal injury case for a nuisance amount in return for not revealing these facts. Because the plaintiff had admitted this fraud upon the tribunal, the lawyer may not enter into what would be a "potentially illegal agreement," but instead must "promptly reveal the fraud to the tribunal." |
