You could look at the American Bar Associations Model Rules of Professional Responsibility [See link below]. The rules are divided generally by subject and coverage, and make sure to read the Committee Comments for the applicable rules as they given further guidence. \n\nHOWEVER, please note that these rules are only model rules, and may not be the exact rules of your jurisdiction. While many states have adopted the model rules or modifications of the model rules, there are some significant differences depending on jurisdiction. You might look at the State Bar website for your state/jurisdiction and see if they have posted their Rules of Professional Responsibility.

This would be govened by the Code of Professional Responsibility for the specific jurisdiction of the attny. I will illustrate using the ABA Model Rules of Professional Responsibility, which for the most part has been adopted in most states (although with variations).\n\nRule 1.8(j) provides that: "A lawyer shall not have sexual relations with a client unless a consensual sexual relationship existed between them when the client-lawyer relationship commenced." Also read the Comments section applicable to Rule 1.8(j). \n\nThe question is has the attny-client relationship officially ended (sometimes this is unclear). If so (and it is best to make it explicit between the parties that the relationship is over), then it is most likely ok; however, this might preclude further representation of the client in subsequent matters (unless proper waiver is obtained and rules followed). \n\nStates do differ significantly on this point, so it is best to consult the Code of Prof. Resp. for your jurisdiction (which should be availble at the state's bar website)

i.t.industry has an association for its professionals and they have instituted their own ethics for their members. PS. i have little faith in ethics as recommended by professional associations -- since their main interest is to protect and enhance the interest of their membership. a case in point is the legal profession --yes, they have work ethics -- but try to fight the billing of a lawyer -- and you end up in their associations -- and (while statistics are not made public) in 99 p.cent of the cases the lawyer gets its due. That is a case off your direct question but it gives you an idea for whom the bell tolls! Hope it helps.

It' is a necessary non-fiction given the laws/rules that exist.\n\nLet's take a 1000 person firm, spread out across the US in a dozen offices. Under the rules as written, the knowledge of one person in that firm is imputed to every single other member of the firm. Even if they don't ever communicate, or don't even know the other 900 attorneys exist. That's unreasonable.\n\nThe ethical wall allows an attorney to work with a client on a non-direct conflict, simply by keeping isolated from other attorneys that are involved in the collateral conflict. \n\nIt makes it more likely that a large firm would be willing to do pro-bono work, because the firm now doesn't have to lose the big client or sacrifice the pro-bono client, just because 10 years ago the pro-bono client sued a later-acquired subsidiary of the big client on an unrelated issue in a different state.\n\nUnder current conflict laws in most jurisdictions, that tenuous collateral interaction is enough to disqualify the firm. Which, for a firm of 1000 attorneys in 12 states, is really just silly. The entire system for determining conflicts needs to be re-worked, and until then the ethical wall is the best solution available to reflect the reality of practice.

The Rules of Professional Conduct, which varies by jurisdiction, generally prohibits a lawyer from advancing an unmeritorious argument in court, except where the lawyer is defending a criminal defendant, who is constitutionally entitled to have the government prove every element of the case against him/her beyond all reasonable doubt.\n\nJust because a case is ultimately a lost cause, does not mean that an attorney cannot make a good faith argument to defend his/her client's interests.\n\nIt is only the plaintiff/petitioner's attorney in a civil action who is ethically not permitted to advance a case where there is no meritorious good faith legal argument.\n\nAnd, as a practical matter, there are very few circumstances where some good faith argument cannot be presented.\n\nUltimately, all cases depend upon their facts, and it is impossible to accurately answer your question without knowing the facts of your particular case. So, if you believe that an attorney has taken an unmeritorious case to court against you, then you should file a complaint with the lawyer disciplinary agency in your jurisdiction, and allow the agency to investigate your claim.

Please be brave madam.\n If he is taken to court, the procecutor will air his views and findings before the judge to prove the guilt.Then the  defending lawyer will be allowed to cross examine the facts.There may be several trials and re-trials till the charge is proved.\n\nIf proved guilty, and is the decesion is not acceptable, the decesion can be challengedin a higher court of law. Till such time he will be in the judicial custody, to be produced before the judge every week. If the charges are bailable,your lawyer can arrange bail by giving the surety and necessary details.\n\nOnly when the final judgement is given, he will be presented the charges, and the judge will announce the term of imprisionment.\n\nPray to God that he comes home proved innocent.\n\nPray to God that you be granted a better language(you used BS),\nand in doing so sounded a terrorist too.

The adverserial legal system is governed by rules of conduct and engagement imposed on both parties. In that sense it is ethical as it provides a structure for "fair play". However, a lawyer's job is to win a case hor his/her client. Taking advantage of loopholes in the law is one way to beat the otherside. In some cases, this may not be ethical. Nevertheless, the legal process that we have provides the best way to redress a wrong since a party that feels its claim was not handled well/fairly within the scope of the law, can in some cases seek further action through the appelate courts. This is as good as it gets folks! The alternative would be Hamurarbbi's Sheria/Law, where justice is meted out in the form of chopping off body parts.

Check with your local bar association.  They will be able to refer you to an attorney.  You can also ask the bar abot whether an attorney has been sanctioned (found to have done something wrong/unethical), depending on the state.  Lastly, you can check the attorney against Martindale, an attorney rating system based on experience that also gives you the attorney's credentials.

It used to be called "Zealous Advocacy" in the ethical codes.\n\nThe basic idea is that the legal system is adversarial, and that truth is best found when opposing learned individuals vigorously advocate their respective sides of the argument.\n\nThe 6th Amendment also guarantees assistance of counsel, which has been interpreted as effective assistance. Since the prosecutor is likely to be vigorous in seeking conviction (given the nature of the adversarial system), the defense must be equally vigorous.

If your lawyer is part of a partnership firm, first complain, in writing to a Senior Partner...one of the dudes with their name on the door...if THAT brings no satisfaction, then go to your state Bar Association's Ethics Review board...good luck.
