Greensboro trial attorney‘s fight with zeal, if they are doing their proper job.
Felony and misdemeanor attorneys routinely are reminded of the pledge we take as Greensboro’s top trial lawyers:
From the North Carolina Bar’s Rules of Professional Conduct, Rule 0.1 – Preamble: A Lawyer’s Responsibilities:
[1] A lawyer, as a member of the legal profession, is a representative of clients, an officer of the legal system, and a public citizen having special responsibility for the quality of justice. [2] As a representative of clients, a lawyer performs various functions. As advisor, a lawyer provides a client with an informed understanding of the client’s legal rights and obligations and explains their practical implications. As advocate, a lawyer zealously asserts the client’s position under the rules of the adversary system. As negotiator, a lawyer seeks a result advantageous to the client but consistent with requirements of honest dealing with others. As evaluator, a lawyer acts by examining a client’s legal affairs and reporting about them to the client or to others.
