Book Description:

Most problems that clients have with their attorneys fall into four major areas: communication; competence; ethics; and, fees. With litigation becoming more a "way of life" in the country these days, it is very important that we clearly understand the roles and responsibilites of the attorney that we have hired. The legal profession polices itself, but can only do so with the aid and understanding of the clients that the profession serves.

This title discusses in understandable language attorney rights and responsibilites. It clearly defines malpractice and addresses specific issues with with examples and scenarios that will help the reader ddetermine if there has been a breach of confidence.

Appendices include state-by-state malpractice laws, grievance procedures, and client security trust funds. Also included are summaries of the two professional codes of conduct for attorneys and an extensive glossary with clear definitions.
