During a recent court proceeding, Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass raised a crucial point regarding the necessity of a retainer agreement in legal matters. Citing New York legal precedent, Steinglass emphasized the importance of clarifying this issue for the jury. He requested Judge Juan Merchan to provide a curative instruction to counter the defense's argument that there is 'nothing improper about not having a retainer agreement.'

Steinglass firmly stated, 'It is in fact the law,' underscoring the significance of adhering to legal requirements in such cases. The prosecutor's stance highlighted the need for clear guidelines and proper documentation in legal proceedings.
