Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
This is a question for any lawyer that wants to answer it. What would you do if someone hired you as thier lawyer for an appeals case for child custody, but didn't full disclose them selfs to you. The person in question was a warrant for not paying childsupport and has two suspensions on his license one for childsupport the other for failure to appear for traffic. He also has a court date in october for childsupport and if he doesn't show will have another warrant and in 2 weeks will have another suspension on his license for another childsupport case. Basically What I want to know is if you knew about this would you still take them on as a client or if you didn't know about it and later found out What would you do? Please help me understand how some one could help someone get custody with all this on them.

Most lawyers will discharge clients if the lawyer doesn't receive full disclosure from the client, but you have to understand that our job as a lawyer is not to judge people. No one is perfect. If you had to be perfect to deserve a lawyer, no one would have one. Our job is help people in the best way we can, so long as we do it in a legal and ethical way. Everyone has flaws. We don't cover a person's flaws, but we explain to the judge that value within a person despite their flaws.
