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 anytime (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 to the point
of discharge).
3. You are entitled to your lawyer's independent professional judgement and
undivided loyalty uncompromised by conflicts of interest.

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 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.
