I think this was an attempt by FFC and Puzzo to portray Tom as a very slick (as in slick willy) lawyer that knew all the ins and outs of staying out of trouble.


I don't think that was Puzo's or FFC's intent at all. You might expect that Kay would want to get in touch with Michael and that a prudent lawyer would realize the liability he would incur by accepting the letter. Tom's response to Kay was Law school 101.
