The Ethical Case For Client Satisfaction (1 hour self-study credit)The Ethical Case For Client Satisfaction (1 hour credit) If you ask most attorneys whether their clients are satisfied, the vast majority would, of course, say "yes." If you then ask them "what makes you so sure?" the responses would typically range from "They don’t complain" and "They’re nice to me" to "They pay their bills" or "They continue to do business with us." A closer examination of these reasons, however, reveals that such client behavior hardly indicates satisfaction. This exercise makes a business case for keeping cllients satisfied to avoid ethics complaints from dis-satisfied clients. Close This |
