Clients Responsibilities

  1. The Client is expected to treat the Lawyer and the Lawyer's staff with courtesy and consideration.
  2. The Client's relationship with the Lawyer must be one of complete candor and the Lawyer must be apprised of all facts or circumstances of the matter being handled by the Lawyer even if the Client believes that those facts may be detrimental to the Client's cause or unflattering to the Client.
