The attorney’s primary task is to protect the client’s legal rights and to serve as an objective legal advisor. Attorneys must use their best efforts on behalf of their clients, but they cannot guarantee particular results in cases. The attorney should keep his or her client informed of the status of the client’s legal problem, and should provide copies of all correspondence and documents prepared on the client’s behalf or received from another party. An attorney may not settle the client’s case without the prior approval of the client. An attorney’s conduct must comply with the New Jersey Rules of Professional Conduct.

Yes, you can be absolutely sure that it will be strictly confidential. This is because the Rules of Professional Conduct in New Jersey provide for an attorney-client privilege: the client or prospective client can freely discuss personal and confidential matters with one of our attorneys, paralegals or any other Garces, Grabler & LeBrocq employee without concern that what we are told will “leave the firm”. Even if the client does not ultimately retain us, the information that you provide at the initial conference is still held in strict confidence.

Individuals generally may consult with and be represented by an attorney whenever they choose. The relationship is created by an agreement that the client will pay a fee in exchange for certain services to be provided by the attorney. When an individual hires or retains a particular attorney, and the attorney agrees to represent that individual, an attorney/client relationship is created. The client will be responsible for paying attorney’s fees as set forth in the retainer or fee agreement. In cases involving a claim for personal injury, the client’s responsibility to pay a fee to Garces, Grabler & LeBrocq is contingent on a monetary recovery – no recovery, no fee.
