Description
financial assistance other than court costs and expenses of litigation. Gerald W. Markham, counsel in a wrongful death suit, advanced his client funds for living expenses and, following settlement of the case, sought reimbursement from the settlement funds. The superior court denied this request. Markham appeals, arguing that the loans were permissible under Rule 1.8(e), or, if not permissible, that the rule unconstitutionally denies or infringes upon access to the courts. Because we conclude that Rule 1.8(e) prohibits lawyers from advancing living expenses to clients and does not unconstitutionally interfere with court access, we affirm.
