We will also address the ethical implications of consulting a potential client who is represented by another attorney, including when that attorney may have filed fraudulent petitions on behalf of the client. Finally, we will address ethical questions that arise when clients have mental health issues. The training will be conducted by Joy Ziegeweid, Esq. of Sanctuary for Families. CLE Credit: 2 credits in professional practice. This course provides transitional credit for newly admitted attorneys and non-transitional credit for experienced attorneys.
