There is perhaps no more fertile area of disputes between attorney and client which can be seen in the form of ethical complaints to the state bar, legal malpractice claims, or other litigation than disputes over money. This course reviews rules of professional conduct, statutes, state bar ethics opinions, cases and principles underlying the rules pertaining to attorney fees, fee agreements and billing practices. Discussion includes how to comply with these rules, and how to take steps to avoid money disputes with clients before they arise.
This New York CLE audio course is accredited for 1.5 New York credit hours in Ethics and Professionalism and is accompanied by substantive written materials.
