"An attorney must competently perform legal services." - Richard Duquette
What Is a Competent Attorney
You can hear from a lot of attorneys in the industry. Unfortunately, not all of them are competent enough to handle a case or to represent a client.
According to People v. Mckenzie (1983) 34 Cal 3rd 616, 631, the duty of a lawyer is to represent the client zealously within the bounds of the law. Competence requires diligence, learning and skill, and the ability to reason well.
The Duty of an Attorney
An attorney must have the capacity to perform his duties. He has a duty to serve both his client and the legal system.
The California Rules of Professional Conduct (CRPC) 3-110 states, "A member shall not intentionally, recklessly, or repeatedly fail to perform legal services with competence."
Learning and Skill to Represent
The relationship between a client and an attorney is as a fiduciary. It tells the attorney to act according to the best interest of his client. Without apt learning and skill, he could fail in performing his duties competently.
