Documenting Engagement (and Non-Engagement)

It is crucial to have an engagement letter in the file which is the starting point for your defense against any grievance or malpractice claim that might arise. A case without a written lawyer-client agreement will turn on what you told the client and what the client heard you say. Your vulnerability to malpractice liability is high.
