While the majority of workers in the legal industry will deal with clients in an ethical manner, there are those who might take advantage of their clients.

The average person relies heavily on the expertise and skill of their lawyers, to make sure that they do not wind up in serious legal trouble.

They also depend on their lawyers to disclose costs, and deal with them fairly regarding fees. Since the costs for legal matters can become exceedingly high, there are laws in place to protect clients.

These laws are intended to allow sanctions against any lawyers who charge overly high fees. Costs are also able to be reviewed by independent bodies.
