Statement of Client’s Rights

To use our best efforts. All of the attorneys at SulmeyerKupetz have trained extensively in order to provide you with excellent legal counsel and service. While we cannot guaranty particular outcomes, we commit to you that we will apply our experience, training and energies in our representation of you.

To promptly return phone calls. SulmeyerKupetz commits to promptly respond to your questions and concerns. We understand how important it is to you that your phone calls be promptly returned. If we cannot return your call within a day (which sometimes happens), we shall make every effort to have a staff member call to explain why the call has not been returned by your attorney, and approximately when it will be returned. If your call is urgent, please advise us so that we may make sure a lawyer is able to reach you in the event the lawyer assigned to your matter cannot.

To inform you of the truth as we see it. We know you did not retain this firm to be “yes” lawyers - and we shall not be. Thus, we will tell you the truth as we honestly see it - even if the truth is unpleasant.

To keep you informed. We are aware that your legal issues are very important to you. We are also aware that a common complaint against lawyers is that sometimes lawyers do not keep their clients fully advised about the progress of their own case. We intend that you never have to express that complaint about us, and that you are kept current on what is happening with respect to the matter for which we have been retained.

To tell you what is going to happen step by step. A great cause of anxiety among clients is that they do not understand how the legal system works. We will tell you as best we can what to expect before it happens to minimize the possibility of surprise.

To treat you with respect. You are our client, and as such, you deserve the utmost respect from our attorneys and staff. If this courtesy is breached, you have every right to speak up about it, and we encourage you to do so.

You are entitled to have your legitimate objectives respected by your attorney, including whether or not to settle your matter (court approval of a settlement is required in some matters).

You have the right to privacy in your dealings with your lawyer and to have your secrets and confidences preserved to the extent permitted by law.

You are entitled to have your attorney conduct himself or herself ethically in accordance with the Code of Professional Responsibility.

You may not be refused representation on the basis of race, creed, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, national origin or disability.
