FAQ

Dating a client can raise serious ethical concerns, primarily because it can create a conflict of interest. When an attorney enters into a personal relationship with a client, it can compromise their ability to remain objective and advocate effectively on behalf of the client.

Professional Ethics: Most legal ethical codes strongly discourage or outright prohibit lawyers from engaging in romantic relationships with clients during representation. This is to maintain professional boundaries and ensure that the lawyer-client relationship is based solely on the client's legal needs.

The concept of legal professional privilege Attorney-client privilege is a legal privilege that enables an attorney to keep communication with his or her client secret. An opposing legal team cannot demand access to this information, either in a discovery request or by asking an attorney to testify under oath.

In different regions around the world, licenced legal professionals are called by different names. In South Africa, we refer to someone who performs a legal function as lawyers or attorneys (which can be used interchangeably).

NO! It's not necessarily illegal to have a relationship with a former client, the laws vary by state. It is however, very explicitly stated in the NASW code of ethics: ``Social workers should not engage sexual activities or sexual contact with former clients because of the potential for harm to the client''.

Conflict of interest: Romantic involvement can cloud judgment, leading to compromised legal representation or decisions in favor of personal relationships. Confidentiality breaches: Intimate relationships may result in inadvertent disclosure of sensitive information, violating attorney-client privilege.

Usually, 30-45 days is considered reasonable unless there is pending litigation and the client needs the file transfered to another attorney. Then the time limit can be much shorter--as little as 5 days in one case. If your attorney is dragging his/her feet, you should consider filing a complaint with the CA Bar.

The establishment of the attorney-client relationship involves two elements: a person seeks advice or assistance from an attorney; and the attorney appears to give, agrees to give or gives the advice or assistance.

Attorneys fall under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Legal Practice Council. Complaints must be lodged with the relevant office of the Legal Practice Council. Click here for complaints forms from the Legal Practice Council website.
