As you are aware the deposition was a subpoena was filed by the opposing
party. It was a requirement.

There was zero communication  by you or Brett on how the fees would be
handled. As my representation,  you have a fiduciary responsibility to
represent in all parts of this legal manner.

If you recall this is during the time of your suggestion for creative use
of Brett’s escrow account to pay the opposing party 12,000.
