- Questioned integrity for a quick buck will ruin your reputation – and ours.
- Attorneys, businesses, media, and the public are watching.
- Understanding what conflict of interest really means – beyond the case.
- Know who your client is. Know your capabilities. Know what the case requires.
- The importance of vetting clients – and cases.
- It must be legal. It must be ethical. It must be BOTH.
