A lawyer’s duty to a client who seeks legal advice is to give the client a competent opinion based on
a sufficient knowledge of the relevant facts, an adequate consideration of the applicable law and the
lawyer’s own experience and expertise. The advice must be open and undisguised and must clearly
disclose what the lawyer honestly thinks about the merits and probable results.



Fraud by Client
2.02(10)
When acting for a client, a lawyer must not advise or assist a client to commit a
fraud, crime or illegal conduct, nor instruct the client on how to violate the law
and avoid punishment.
