David A. Lewis Law PLLC

Unfortunately, these rules and expectations can get extremely complex. Most lawyers take great comfort in being able to rely on outside advice when navigating the ever-present ethical challenges that go hand-in-hand with the practice of law.

Ethical dilemmas can be a stressful area for most lawyers—absent trusted legal ethics counsel.

In high pressure day-to-day legal practice, some ethical red flags are not always easy to discern and can too easily be overlooked.
