By "our attorney," I assume you mean Bank Counsel? If so, its not completely out of the ordinary. This is of course, assuming that the attorney has a very good understanding of the BSA rules and requirements. Some do, some do not.
If not, I would agree with the other posters in that it serves no purpose at all.
