Attorney-Client Relationship

Attorney Personal Summary

Contact Daniel Bakondi


 

I am glad you visited this very important page.  The legal product today is sold to the client today with a lot of packaging, flair, and abundance of "professionalism" that sometimes unfortunately misses the most important thing: The strategic legal benefit to the client. In the end, that is what matters, and what I focus on. Being careful, strategic, and creative is not about fitting into a model, it is about doing what is best for the client.

The attorney-client relationship is a very special relationship of trust. For me, the integrity necessary to earn that trust is not just a business decision, but my nature. Strategy, imagination, and a desire to succeed often make the difference between success and failure.  I believe it is what separates me from other lawyers.  I love the law, and became a lawyer because I enjoy helping people, and using the law for the interests of my clients by finding solutions in places others would not look.  Please contact me to find out what I may do for you.

 

California Business Attorney:  

My job as a California Business Attorney is to do my best to protect the interests of my clients, and do my best to win the case for each and every client.  As a California business attorney, there are a few points I feel are most important:  

1.  Serving the client - The most fundamental principle of being a good business attorney whom clients learn to trust, whether you are an individual or a large organization, is to put the client's interests ahead of even your own.  Period.  

2.  Creativity - Some attorneys look at the law as a very mechanical process.  I look at the law as a chess game with a nearly unlimited number of options of which move to make, and I wield the law with a rare creativity that is very powerful in the law.  

3.  Passion - I want to succeed in every case like I have something to prove.  I love dissecting every case like a tactician, and hammering the other side's weaknesses.  

4.  Ethics - I am of the highest ethical caliber.  My belief in doing what is right under the law will not yield, and I believe this principle is fundamental to my success as an attorney.     

 

FIDUCIARY RELATIONSHIP: (Black's Law Dictionary)

"A relationship in which one person is under a duty to act for the benefit of the other on matters within the scope of the relationship.  Fiduciary relationships - such as trustee-beneficiary, guardian-ward, agent-principle, and attorney-client - require the highest duty of care.  

California Rules of Professional Conduct

CHAPTER 1: PROFESSIONAL INTEGRITY IN GENERAL

Rule 1-100(A)

The following rules are intended to regulate professional conduct of the State Bar through discipline. They have been adopted by the Board of Governors of the State Bar of California and approved by the Supreme Court of California pursuant to Business and Professions Code sections 6076 and 6077 to protect the public and to promote respect and confidence in the legal profession.

Comments,  Rule 3-120

"The relationship between an attorney and client is a fiduciary relationship of the very highest character and all dealings between an attorney and client that are beneficial to the attorney will be closely scrutinized with the utmost strictness for unfairness. (See, e.g., Giovanazzi v. State Bar (1980) 28 Cal.3d 465, 472 [169 Cal.Rptr. 581]; Benson v. State Bar (1975) 13 Cal.3d 581,586 [119 Cal.Rptr. 297]; Lee v. State Bar (1970) 2 Cal.3d 927, 939 [88 Cal.Rptr 361]; Clancy v. State Bar (1969) 71 Cal.2d 140, 146 [77 Cal.Rptr. 657].) Where attorneys exercise undue influence over clients or take unfair advantage of clients, discipline is appropriate. (See, e.g., Magee v. State Bar (1962) 58 Cal.2d 423 [24 Cal.Rptr. 839]; Lantz v. State Bar (1931) 212 Cal. 213 [298 P. 497].) In all client matters, a is advised to keep clients' interest paramount in the course of the member's representation."

My biggest concern about clients is that many come to an attorney too late.  If you are involved in business, dealing with real property, don't wait until problems arise.  With the law, often times what you DON'T know can have a huge impact on your prosperity, negative or positive.  Contact me, tell me what you are doing, and let me help you to do it right.
