Communication Between Lawyer and Client

All communications between a lawyer and her client, or potential client are strictly confidential. It is crucial that you be as honest and open with your divorce lawyer as possible, even if you believe the information could hurt you. The lawyer’s goal in obtaining the best results for you also includes protecting you.

Information should flow both ways between you and your lawyer. You should not be afraid to ask your lawyer any question related to your divorce. When your lawyer asks for information or documentation related to your case, be careful to provide all information that you have. A lawyer cannot do her job properly if she is not provided the necessary information from her client. Advice based on incorrect or incomplete facts may be worse than no advice at all.

If you do not understand the advice you are given, or find it hard to accept, discuss it further with your lawyer. California divorce law is extremely complex and each case presents unique facts. If you feel uncomfortable discussing an issue with your lawyer, or your lawyer intimidates you, remember that as a consumer of legal services, it is your right to be properly represented. If your lawyer is not communicating effectively with you, you may wish to change attorneys.
