Questions

Abrаhаm hired Becky, а lawyer, tо represent him in a persоnal injury lawsuit against Dan, the driver оf the car that collided with Abraham’s car, thereby causing him serious bodily injury. Abraham could not afford to pay Becky, so Becky told Abraham not to worry about paying anything until there is a recovery in the case. Becky told Abraham that if a recovery is obtained, Becky would take 55% as her attorney fee and Abraham would get the rest less any costs Becky had incurred. Abraham orally agreed to this fee arrangement. Dan’s insurance company, Standard Insurance, emailed Becky before Becky completed any substantive work on the case, and offered to settle the matter for $100,000. Becky was thrilled and replied to the email that she accepted the settlement offer. Becky then told Abraham about the settlement. Abraham was relieved that the case settled so quickly because he had accumulated hospital bills of more than $40,000. Standard Insurance delivered a check for $100,000 payable to Becky, who deposited it into her law firm’s business account. Becky then wrote a check from that account to Abraham for $45,000 [(Note: See clarification below)], minus her costs, and mailed it to him. Upon receipt of the check, Abraham complained about Becky’s fee, threatened to sue Becky for malpractice, and reported her to the State Bar. Abraham asked Becky to return $10,000 of the fee. Becky agreed to return $10,000. Abraham also told Becky that now that the case was over, he planned to go to Dan’s house and beat him within an inch of his life for all the pain and aggravation he had caused. Abraham then video-called Becky from in front of Dan’s house. Becky immediately called the police to let them know Dan was in danger. After she called the police, she took no further action. Abraham comes to you for counsel. What if any duties have Becky violated? Please discuss fully per ABA rules and California authorities.
