Lilly, а Cаlifоrniа lawyer, was asked by her friend Nancy tо represent Nancy’s 18 year-оld son, Dan, who was being prosecuted for drug possession with intent to distribute. Nancy told Lilly that the matter needed to be resolved as quickly and quietly as possible to preserve her reputation as a Marriage and Family Therapist. Nancy said that she had procured Dan’s acceptance at an in-patient drug rehabilitation center and she wanted Lilly to recommend it to Dan. Lilly had never handled a criminal defense case but she accepted a retainer fee from Nancy and agreed to represent Dan. Lilly contacted her friend Bill, an experienced criminal law attorney. He provided her with templates for standard pre-trial motions and accompanied Lilly to meet with Dan for an initial interview. Dan vehemently denied possessing, selling, or even using drugs. He insisted that he had been set up by an undercover officer. After interviewing Dan, Bill told Lilly that if Dan’s story was true, the prosecution had a very weak case and Dan had a strong defense of entrapment. Lilly thanked Billy, saying, “I can handle the case from here.” Lilly filed several pre-trial motions and appeared before the Court as Dan’s counsel. At the hearing on the motions the prosecutor offered Dan a plea bargain to a reduced charge of simple possession and one year of probation on condition that Dan undergo a one-year period of in-patient drug rehabilitation. Lilly asked Dan what he thought about the offer, to which Dan replied, “Wait, I’m innocent… don’t I get to have my day in court to prove it?” Lilly, mindful of Nancy’s stated desire to resolve the case quietly and quickly, told Dan that she really thought the plea deal was Dan’s best chance at avoiding a possible conviction and harsher penalty. Dan reluctantly agreed to the offer, pleaded guilty and the sentence was imposed by the Court. Did Lilly commit any ethical violations in her representation of Dan? Discuss fully.
In 2018, Henry аnd Wendy mаrried in Cаlifоrnia. Priоr tо marriage, Wendy accumulated $1.5 million dollars from an inheritance she received from her father and placed it in a savings account from earnings she acquired before marriage. Wendy maintained the account solely in her name and never commingled the funds with marital assets. Three months after the marriage, Henry and Wendy purchased a residence in Newport Beach. Wendy used the entire $1.5 million dollars from her savings account to purchase the residence outright. No loan or mortgage was obtained. During escrow, Wendy expressed concern about placing the property into joint title because she was contributing all of the purchase funds. Henry assured Wendy that he agreed the property should remain Wendy's separate property despite being held in both names. The grant deed conveyed title to: “Henry and Wendy, husband and wife, as joint tenants. Notwithstanding the manner in which title is held, the parties expressly agree that the residence shall remain the separate property of Wendy.” Both Henry and Wendy signed the deed, and it was duly recorded. In January 2023, unknown to Wendy, Henry began an affair with his secretary. Shortly thereafter, Henry moved out of the residence and into a nearby apartment, telling Wendy that he was unhappy and needed time to determine whether the marriage could be saved. Wendy believed the marriage was struggling but hoped reconciliation remained possible. Over the next year, the parties attended marriage counseling, spent holidays together with family, and maintained a joint bank account used to pay household expenses. Henry continued his relationship with his secretary. On December 24, 2023, Henry bought himself a new boat for Christmas. He purchased the boat using his earnings from his employment. On February 1, 2024, Wendy found out about Henry’s affair and told him she intended to file for divorce. Henry agreed the marriage was over. After that date, the parties only communicated regarding necessary financial matters. On August 1, 2025, Wendy filed a petition for dissolution of marriage. At the time of trial, the residence had depreciated in value and was only worth $1.2 million. What are Henry’s and Wendy’s respective rights and liabilities, if any, regarding: The House? Discuss. The Boat? Discuss. Answer according to California law.
