| "The Code of Professional Responsibility demands the utmost degree of fidelity and good faith in dealing with the moneys entrusted to lawyers because of their fiduciary relationship."[13] Specifically, Rule 16.01 of the Code imposes upon the lawyer the duty to "account for all money or property collected or received for or from the client." Rule 16.03 thereof, on the other hand, mandates that "[a] lawyer shall deliver the funds x x x of his client when due or upon demand." | |||||
