A lawyer’s conduct is governed by the West Virginia Rules of Professional Conduct and by the rules of the courts before which the lawyer practices. A lawyer’s conduct is governed by the highest standards of courtesy, integrity, human decency and respect for the judicial system the lawyer serves. A client has no right to demand or expect the lawyer to violate those rules and standards.

A lawyer is obligated to provide competent representation to a client.
A lawyer is obligated to exercise diligence in the pursuit of the client’s interest.
A lawyer is obligated to be punctual in fulfilling all professional commitments.

A lawyer is obligated to refrain from abusive, hostile, demeaning or offensive conduct toward others even if a client requests it.
A lawyer is obligated to remain uninfluenced by any ill feeling which may exist between litigants.
