California attorney and sole practitioner Sam has been having problems with alcohol abuse. Recently, Sam has hit a low point in his life, and some days has not been coming into his office. His paralegal Suzie has been covering for him with the clients, but is beginning to run out of excuses. Their general law firm checking account balance is very low, and the rent and utilities are due in two days. They did, however, just receive a big settlement check for a client on an old case.Suzie is weighing her options and does not want the landlord or power company to take action against Sam or the firm, but she would also like to be paid this month.

1. What are the ethical duties which Suzie has violated?
2. What can, and what should Suzie do to help solve these problems regarding her attorney's mismanagement?
