Discuss the most important component of building a client's trust.

What will be an ideal response?


The most important component of building a client's trust in her or his attorney is the assurance that what is said between attorney and client will be kept confidential. Without the assurance of confidentiality, there is no reason to expect defendants to be candid with their lawyers about events surrounding the charges they face. Without such candor, the ability for a lawyer to effectively represent a client is greatly diminished.
