Professional Malpractice and Ethical Issues

- Maintain the attorney-client privilege of confidentiality
- Avoid conflicts of interest
- Honestly and loyally represent a client's interests as a fiduciary
- Properly turn over a client's file to the client
- Promptly reimburse a client or distribute funds to a client at the end of the representation
- Properly maintain and account for the client's monies in an attorney-client trust account
Attorney Misconduct
