As he is running out the door to a hearing, he says to Isabella Paralegal "Call Ms. Client and tell her that she should not pay the tax penalty because IRS Code 502 says she doesn't have to." Later that day, Isabella calls Ms. Client and says "Ms. Client? This is Isabella at Ethan Lawyer's office. I'm calling to say that you should not pay
