Professionalism

  Professionalism

The firm recognizes that we are more than a business, we are a profession. As such, we earnestly promote the highest ethical standards. The firm believes that part of our responsibilities is admirably expressed in the preamble of The Virginia Code of Professional Responsibility. The following are excerpts from this preamble, and provided for your information.

… 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 intermediary between clients, a lawyer seeks to reconcile their divergent interests as an advisor and, to a limited extent, as a spokesperson for each client…

…In all professional functions, a lawyer should be competent, prompt and diligent. A lawyer should maintain communication with a client concerning the representation. A lawyer should keep in confidence information relating to representation…

…A lawyer's conduct should conform to the requirements of the law, both in professional service to clients and in the lawyer's business and personal affairs. A lawyer should use the law's procedures only for legitimate purposes and not to harass or intimidate others. A lawyer should demonstrate respect for the legal system and for those who serve it, including judges, other lawyers and public officials. While it is a lawyer's duty, when necessary, to challenge the rectitude of official action, it is also a lawyer's duty to uphold legal process.

… As a member of a learned profession, a lawyer should cultivate knowledge of the law beyond its use for clients, employ that knowledge in reform of the law and work to strengthen legal education. A lawyer should be mindful of deficiencies in the administration of justice and of the fact that the poor, and sometimes persons who are not poor, cannot afford adequate legal assistance, and should therefore devote professional time and civic influence in their behalf….  

… a lawyer is also guided by personal conscience and the approbation of professional peers. A lawyer should strive to attain the highest level of skill…

A lawyer's responsibilities as a representative of clients, an officer of the legal system and a public citizen are usually harmonious… a lawyer can be a zealous advocate on behalf of a client and at the same time assume that justice is being done….     Menu
