Does the law require a retainer agreement or does a verbal agreement suffice?
Also, don’t retainer agreements exist to make sure the lawyer gets paid, so it’s on the lawyer to get one, not the client.
I don’t see how a lack of retainer agreement would be a falsification of records on the part of the client who made a verbal agreement to a monthly fee.

You miss the main point. Cohen, Attorney #1, is Bragg’s star witness.
