Levine noted, “For the first time, attorneys will be able to turn to a single volume to find a concise yet thorough exposition of their legal and ethical obligations in connection with the control and disposition of clients’ funds. Attorney Escrow Accounts: Rules, Regulations and Related Topics will be a reference work widely used by both new and experienced practitioners.”
