of Client's Rights |

|
|
|
Section 1210.1 of the Joint Rules
of the Appellate Division
(22NYCRR§1210.1) provides as follows: |
|
|
|
|
|
1. You are entitled to be treated
with courtesy and consideration at all times by your lawyer and
the other lawyers and personnel in your lawyer's office. |
|
|
|
|
|
2. You are entitled to an attorney
capable of handling your legal matter competently and diligently,
in accordance with the highest standards of the profession. If
you are not satisfied with how your matter is being handled,
you have the right to withdraw from the attorney-client relationship
at any time (court approval may be required in some matters and
your attorney may have a claim against you for the value of services
rendered to you up to the point of discharge). |
|
|
|
|
|
3. You are entitled to your lawyer's
independent professional judgment and undivided loyalty uncompromised
by conflicts of interest. |
|
|
|
|
|
4. You are entitled to be charged
a reasonable fee and to have your lawyer explain at the outset
how the fee will be computed and the manner and frequency of
billing. You are entitled to request and receive a written itemized
bill from your attorney at reasonable intervals. You may refuse
to enter into any fee arrangement that you find unsatisfactory.
In the event of a fee dispute, you may have the right to seek
arbitration; your attorney will provide you with the necessary
information regarding arbitration in the event of a fee dispute,
or upon your request. |
|
|
|
|
|
5. You are entitled to have your
questions and concerns addressed in a prompt manner and to have
your telephone calls returned promptly. |
|
|
|
|
|
6. You are entitled to be kept
informed as to the status of your matter and to request and receive
copies of papers. You are entitled to sufficient information
to allow you to participate meaningfully in the development of
your matter. |
|
|
|
|
|
7. You are entitled to have your
legitimate objectives respected by your attorney, including whether
or not to settle your matter (court approval of a settlement
is required in some matters). |
|
|
|
|
|
8. You have the right to privacy
in your dealings with your lawyer and to have your secrets and
confidences preserved to the extent permitted by law. |
|
|
|
|
|
9. You are entitled to have your
attorney conduct himself or herself ethically in accordance with
the Code of Professional Responsibility. |
|
|
|
|
|
10. You may not be refused representation
on the basis of race, creed, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation,
age, national origin or disability. |
