Obligations of Honesty and Truthfulness for Transactional Attorneys

 
In this video, John A. Snow, attorney with Prince Yeates, discusses the obligations of honesty and truthfulness for transactional attorneys. Rule 4.1 handles truthfulness in statements to others. It states that in the course of representing a client, a lawyer shall not knowingly make a false statement of material fact or law to a third person or fail to disclose material fact to a third person when disclosure is necessary to avoid assisting a criminal or fraudulent act by a client. Snow provides some case examples of very serious consequences for lawyers who aren’t truthful. Snow also discusses conflicts of duty of truthfulness with confidentiality as well as noise withdrawal. Rule 1.16 deals with declining or terminating representation. Snow does a very good job of explaining each of the rules as well as exceptions to the rules and examples to help retain the information to avoid any violations to the rules. When the bar association brings a claim against a lawyer, it is known as professional misconduct.
