LEO: Requesting Written Promise from Opposing  LE Op. 249

 

Requesting Written Promise from Opposing Counsel.

 

October 2, 1974

 

Where a client insists on receiving written evidence from his opponent's

counsel of that counsel's intent to place monies in controversy in escrow,

it is not improper for the attorney for said client to demand such written

assurances from opposing counsel.
