The attorney-client relationship is one of the most important and
delicate relationships in all of legaldom (if there is such a
word). Lawyers cannot exist without clients. With rare exceptions,
clients cannot make it without lawyers. The foundation of the
attorney-client relationship is trust. Without the element of trust
between the client and the attorney, the relationship simply will
not work out. I am reminded of the story about the man who hated to
worry about anything and went looking for a surrogate worrier. He
approached a lawyer about the issue and said:
Potential client: "I would like to retain your services. I'll give
a thousand dollars if you will do the worrying for me."
Lawyer: "That's fine. I'll do it. Now where's the thousand
dollars?"
Potential client: "That's your first worry."
Trust works both ways in an attorney-client relationship. In order
for an attorney to help the client, the attorney needs to know
everything about the client's problem or issue. Most clients do not
understand that, or simply ignore this point. In any event, few
clients abide by it. To encourage clients to speak freely and
reveal all to their lawyer concerning their problem or issue, the
law grants an absolute attorney-client privilege. Whatever the
client tells the lawyer about his or her case is secret and
strictly confidential. Only with the client's expressed permission
can the attorney reveal this secret and confidential information.
