We asked Las Vegas attorney, Michael Troiano, if stating “withdrawn” after an improper question prevents an attorney from being sanctioned. We hope you enjoy his response.
In short, no. If an attorney takes an action that can lead to being sanctioned, simply uttering ‘withdrawn’ would not prevent the attorney from being sanctioned. But, it may prevent the other party or presiding judge from pursuing sanctions if the offending attorney decided to not continue down that path.
