The 客户援助计划 (CAP) serves the public and members of the Bar. Individuals contact CAP with their questions or issues about legal situations, 寻求信息, complaints about attorneys and communication problems between clients and attorneys. CAP提供信息, possibly contacts the attorney or suggests other ways of dealing with the situation. 请致电404-527-8759联系客户援助计划.
“我找不到律师来处理我的案子." CAP不能将来电者介绍给个别律师, but will suggest they call their local voluntary (non-regulatory) bar association or a lawyer referral service.
“律师不回我电话." CAP may suggest that the client send the attorney a letter or an email to express his or her concerns. 如果没有得到合理的回应, CAP可能会代表客户联系律师.
“我不知道我的案子发生了什么. 我已经好几个月没有律师的消息了." CAP may suggest that the client send the attorney a letter or an email to express his or her concerns. 如果没有得到合理的回应, CAP可能会代表客户联系律师.
“我该如何解雇我的律师??" CAP suggests that the client contact the attorney and try to work things out. 如果不成功, CAP suggests that the client send the attorney a letter or an email which includes the following: a dated statement of dismissal, along with a request for the return of the client's entire original file, an itemized statement and a request for the return of any unearned attorney fees.
“我的前律师不肯公布这份文件." 客户端试图取回文件失败后, CAP may contact the lawyer to explain that the client needs the file in order to pursue the active case.
“我需要一份我的庭审记录，以申请人身保护令." Clients are advised to contact the clerk of the trial court to request transcripts.
“我怎样才能让法院给我指派一名律师呢??" 建议客户与法院联系. 任命律师的是法院，而不是乔治亚州律师协会. The Bar has absolutely nothing to do with the appointment of attorneys.
“我要起诉法官." CAP refers the client to the Judicial Qualifications Commission, 哪些是处理有关司法失当行为的投诉.
“一位律师信托账户上的一张支票被退票了." CAP将要求向客户发送申诉表格, 谁应该就如何追回资金获得法律建议.
“我的律师费太高了!" CAP敦促客户查看费用协议, find out how much time the lawyer has worked on the case and to look at the file to see what work has been done. If it appears the client is being charged for unnecessary work or work that has not been done, the client should contact the lawyer to work out the fee dispute. 如果不成功, call the State Bar's Fee Arbitration 程序 for additional options.
“我的律师能退出这个案子吗??" 是的，在某些情况下. An attorney wishing to withdraw from an active court case should file a Motion to Withdraw. 如果法院批准动议，律师可以撤回. 不能损害委托人的案子. 建议客户寻求其他法律意见.
“一个代表债权人的律师缠着我要我还债." CAP lets callers know that the opposing counsel is supposed to be a zealous advocate for his or her client. Clients should get legal advice about how to respond to the demand for payment, 特别是如果有争议的金额. Find out about the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and what can be done to make bill collectors stop calling. Suspected violations of the FDCPA should be reported to the Federal Trade Commission.
“我想起诉我的律师玩忽职守." CAP将客户推荐给当地(非监管)律师协会, 谁能告诉他们处理这类案件的律师的名字. Legal malpractice is a matter for the courts, a civil action, not for the State Bar.
“一个律师对我很粗鲁!" CAP advises callers that such behavior is not condoned and is unprofessional, but it does not violate the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct that govern the practice of law in Georgia.
“我的律师提供了无效的律师协助." While the State Bar does not have jurisdiction over claims of ineffective assistance, CAP can refer callers to other agencies that may provide assistance in such situations.
“我不敢解雇我的律师，因为我已经预付了律师费." 客户应与律师一起审查合同. 在大多数情况下, CAP tells callers that lawyers must return any unearned fee when they are discharged or withdraw. A client should ask for an itemized bill and return of the unearned fee when the attorney is discharged.
"My ex-spouse is a lawyer who is delinquent in paying child support." Once CAP receives a certified copy of an order by a Georgia Court pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 19-6-28.1, CAP will notify the lawyer of the suspension of his or her license to practice. The suspension will be lifted once certain requirements are met.
The 乔治亚州律师协会 is prohibited from intervening in 情况下, 解释法律或规则, giving any legal advise and referring persons to individual attorneys. CAP does not have "in person" meetings; all of CAP's actions are handled by telephone, 信件及电邮. 不应向CAP发送任何原始文件.
CAP tries to help solve problems by improving lawyer-client communications and resolving conflicts through informal methods. Filing a grievance may not solve a client's problem, so CAP works to find other options. There are, of course, situations in which grievances are necessary.
是的. CAP helps lawyers by providing facilitating communication between lawyers and their clients. Most problems with clients can be prevented by returning calls promptly, 及时告知客户案件的进展情况, 解释计费做法, 按时完成工作并有效地处理工作量.
尽管CAP不能成功地解决所有问题, it has handled thousands of inquiries since 1995 with a staff of five, 包括一名律师. Approximately 80% of callers' problems are resolved without having to use the formal disciplinary procedure (filing a grievance).
