When, ethically speaking, you may terminate an attorney-client relationship.
You don’t have to, but you may decide to terminate an attorney-client relationship. When should you do that? When does one want to do that? The Pareto Principle states that, for many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes, with that in mind there are two important categories of clients to consider – the 20% of clients that cause 80% of your problems, these are the problem clients that you may want to consider, if permissible under the ethics rules, to end your attorney-client relationship with; and the second category is the 20% of the clients that generate 80% of your profit, clearly these are the clients that you want to keep happy to keep your bottom line happy. However, sometimes there are clients that fall into both of the 20% categories and that’s when you need to really review how to best handle those relationships.
