Clients Need a âBill of Rightsâ argues CCM Publisher in HuffPo
California Courts Monitor publisher, Sara Warner, makes an argument for a âClient Bill of Rightsâ to protect clients in civil litigation today in the Huffington Post.
In her post, she states:
âWe hear about personal injury cases being âbundledâ with other cases to increase settlements, often without client knowledge. We hear that some attorneys distribute settlement money based on which client arrangements benefit them most. We hear about lawyers creating companies, like document courier services, that they use to drive up the âexpensesâ they can deduct from client paymentsâŚHopefully, if true, these are rare events. A solid bill of rights might help keep them that way.â
