[RPPTL LandTen] Ethics question

[Harry Heist]

Hello All,

 

The main eviction attorney in Orlando is fronting the property manager money that is in the court registry when they do a Stip or it is awarded at trial. When the money is disbursed from the registry to his firm, which may take a couple weeks, he then just keeps the money. 

 

He does this as a marketing tool as an apartment manager's bonus is often based on money collected each month.

 

It this ethical? I have my doubts. 

 

Thoughts?

 

Harry
