What should a client receive from a Family Law practitioner?
• The truth. • Service with courtesy and reasonable promptness as dictated by the circumstances of the case. • Confidentiality of privileged communications. • To be informed promptly of all relevant developments in the case. • Reasonable availability of the lawyer. Mr. Hugenschmidt customarily works long hours and does not want to be called at home except in the case of true emergency. His home telephone number is listed in the telephone directory for this reason. • To be charged fairly and in accordance with the written fee agreement.
