Responsibilities of Attorney and Client

All communications with our firm regarding your case are strictly confidential. We will preserve your confidential communications and prosecute your case to the best of our professional ability. The facts of your case will be the chief determination. Therefore, we must have all the facts to represent you properly. The outcome of your case is within the sole discretion of the court, subject to appeal if necessary.

We will make every effort to keep you informed. You will receive copies of all documents prepared or received by us. Though there may be periods when you do not hear from us, we will be monitoring and working on your case preparation consistently until it is completely resolved.

After you have deposited an amount of money with us as a retainer and executed an Engagement Letter, you have established an attorney-client relationship with us. Once this relationship exists, you will be asked not to relay specific settlement proposals to your spouse. This creates ethical difficulties for the lawyer under the Code of Professional Responsibility because it involves bypassing the other party's lawyer. For the same reason you cannot expect us to talk directly to your spouse if the spouse is represented by an attorney.

We will be available to you to discuss the legal aspects of daily issues, but remember our fees are based in part on time spent on a case, including telephone conversations. When court appearances are scheduled, it will be your responsibility to be present on time at the designated courtroom in the County Courthouse. If witnesses are required to be present on your behalf, we will need your assistance in selecting them and preparing them for an appearance in court.

You will have to produce records of your total income, whether from wages, fees or investments, and all of your assets, and furnish a complete list of all debts and liabilities, including amounts required to meet all installment payments. Keep complete notes regarding all living expenses for yourself and for any children or other dependents.
