In Greensboro Trial Attorney's Fight With Zeal by GWAO

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.
