What is one consequence of failing to comply with Rule 5.7 regarding nonlegal services?

Failing to comply with Rule 5.7 regarding nonlegal services can indeed lead to disciplinary action against the attorney. Rule 5.7 addresses the issue of lawyers providing nonlegal services and the potential for conflicts of interest that may arise, as well as the need to maintain professional responsibilities even in nonlegal contexts. If an attorney does not adhere to the stipulations within this rule, they risk breaching their ethical obligations, which can trigger a complaint to the state bar or other disciplinary bodies. Such actions could lead to sanctions, including censure, suspension, or even disbarment, thereby highlighting the importance of compliance in maintaining professional integrity and trust.
