The Role of Ethics in Legal Fees

Sally Kohn: Your ethical obligation is to your client. And so is to the person you are defending. So there is the question often comes like, what kind of controls can be attached to those dollars? She says that's really a key question and it gets more complicated when you're talking about third parties because the attorney has an ethical obligation to the client.Kohn: The argument on the other side I think is worth just noting, which is these folks wouldn't have tens of thousands of dollars of legal fees but for working for Donald Trump or working in the White House.
