Attorney-Client Relationship

From the Paper:

"An attorney's obligation to a client includes his or her duty to understand, counsel and solve the client's problems--not just the client's legal problems or the case. Interviewing and counseling are more than two simple steps in the "lawyering process." Whether the client is involved in a civil or criminal matter, the interviewing (the task of gathering information) and counseling (the task of formulating solutions) processes are the cornerstone of the attorney-client relationship.

Attorneys need to establish effective relationships with clients, learn how clients view their problems, goals and expectations and assist them in understanding to make informed choices. If an attorney does not have a good relationship with the client, the relationship will not enable a successful conclusion to the matter."
