Attorney Ethics

Enforcing Good Attorney Standards

In certain circumstances, attorney actions may be challenged by clients, and InfoShare^® Attorney Ethics provides a way of adjudicating these matters. For attorneys found to have contravened ethical practices, or to have committed felonies, disciplinary action can be taken. Additionally, fee disputes can be reviewed and settled. A random audit system reviews attorney accounting to make sure that client funds are managed properly.
