Legal Ethics and Practice Management

Bay Area Legal Ethics Attorneys

Every lawyer in the state of California is subject to the same Rules of Professional Conduct and the State Bar Act. Like any other area of law, there are many complexities within legal ethics. At Fishkin & Slatter LLP, we keep abreast of the case rulings, statutes, and rules that govern legal ethics and responsible practice management in California.

Questions of ethical practice management come into play every day of an attorney's career. It is only logical that you will have questions as to the best practices and most responsible courses of action. At Fishkin & Slatter LLP, we can answer your legal ethics questions regarding:

  • Changing law firms
  • Fee agreements
  • Conflict waivers
  • Client disputes
  • Fee sharing
  • Trust account issues
  • Disqualification motions
  • State Bar investigations
  • Advertising ethics
  • Website ethics

If you have any questions about what you can and cannot do, about what you should or should not do, contact an attorney who is familiar with the complexities of California legal ethics.

Appellate Court Decisions

There are over one hundred appellate court rulings every year which govern the work of lawyers. We monitor the State Bar Court Reporter, the published decisions of the California Courts of Appeals, and the California Supreme Court.

We also follow federal cases that affect the practice of attorneys in California. The actions of attorneys can also be affected by bankruptcy courts, tax courts, and other United State regulatory agencies. We make it our job to know the latest rulings, so we can get you the most up-to-date information possible.

Legal ethics often aren't about what is right and what is wrong as much as they are about deciding between two or more difficult options. We can help you understand what your choices are. Contact us today.
