Sooner or later, almost every lawyer encounters a client whose behavior becomes problematic as the case wears on.  A client who previously seemed only slightly neurotic will begin phoning incessantly, asking for multiple updates each day.  Sometimes a client who appeared to have no psychological issues at all will seemingly undergo a personality change, becoming accusatory and suspicious.

This seminar covers how to deal with these types of clients, walking a fine line encompassing ethical conduct toward the client, while also protecting the attorney.  Featured speakers will be Ellen A. Pansky of Pansky & Markle, a firm that specializes in advising lawyers in legal ethics and risk management; and Mary Baron, a licensed clinical social worker.

Ms. Baron will address the psychological aspects of handling and communicating with delicate clients, and Ms. Pansky will discuss the ethical issues involved.
