Mickey Shаrp is аn аttоrney whо wоrks in a state that has adopted the Model Rules of Professional Conduct.Last year, Jes Berger approached Sharp seeking representation against University Clinic in a medical malpractice case after a botched surgery. Sharp agreed to represent Berger. Unfortunately, Sharp’s research revealed that the statute of limitations on Berger’s claim expired two months before Berger sought representation.Sharp explained to Berger that the chance of winning the case now is low, but suggested that they file suit anyway.“The statute of limitations is an affirmative defense,” Sharp explained to Berger. “That means that it’s up to the defendant to plead and prove. I’ll put the year of the surgery in the complaint, but just leave out the month. The defendant’s attorney might not notice.”“I’m not sure I can afford a lawyer, especially if the case isn’t very strong,” Berger said.“Don’t worry,” Sharp answered. “I’ll take the case for a one-third contingency fee—you don’t have to pay anything at all unless I can win the case for you.”Berger orally agreed to the plan, and Sharp filed the complaint. The complaint sought $800,000 in total: $100,000 for medical expenses, $400,000 for pain and suffering, and $300,000 for punitive damages.University Clinic, represented by its attorney Aviva Couvert, filed an answer to the complaint. Sharp was pleased to see that the hospital failed to raise the statute of limitations as a defense. Sharp was also a bit surprised; in the answer, University Clinic admitted certain facts that Sharp expected the defendant to contest. All of the defenses raised by the hospital appeared to lack merit, and Sharp believed several of them to be frivolous.Sharp decided that the best approach was to seek a quick settlement in the case before the hospital could file an amended answer or hire counsel that was more competent. When Sharp was ready to contact Couvert, Berger was on a week-long vacation and could not be reached. Believing that time was of the essence, Sharp called Couvert and offered to settle the case for medical expenses only ($100,000).Couvert immediately turned down the offer of settlement. “No can do,” Couvert said. “We’re going to trial on this one.”“It’s a good offer,” Sharp responded. “You can’t just turn it down without talking to your client.”“My client gave me the authority to decide whether to settle,” Couvert replied. “And I decided not to. I’ve never had a case make it all the way to trial before, and I need the trial experience.”After the phone call, Sharp drafted an email to Couvert: “Per our earlier telephone conversation, I would like to reiterate my offer to settle the case for $100,000. This offer will remain open for one week only.” Sharp sent the e-mail to Couvert and copied the University Clinic CEO on the email, hoping that the email would prompt the hospital to agree to a quick settlement.Sharp’s strategy worked. Four days later, University Clinic sent a check for $100,000. Sharp placed $33,333.33 in a personal account, spent $15,000 paying off court costs and litigation expenses, and put the remaining $51,666.67 in the client trust account.As soon as Berger returned from vacation, Sharp wrote a check from the client trust account for $51,666.67 and gave it to Berger.“The case settled already?” Berger asked. “I thought we’d get more—we sued for $800,000. Shouldn’t we have tried to get more?”“You’re lucky we recovered anything,” Sharp answered. “If the case went on for any longer, the hospital would almost certainly have hired a better attorney and figured out that they had a valid statute of limitations defense—then you wouldn’t have gotten anything at all.”Berger accepted the explanation and cashed the check.After discussing the case with friends, Berger became convinced that Sharp did not handle the case appropriately. Berger is considering filing a malpractice action against Sharp and making a complaint to the state’s Attorney Discipline Committee.Please evaluate Sharp’s handling of the case and explain whether any of Sharp’s actions would likely give rise to disciplinary consequences or to civil malpractice liability.
