In the course of an Attorney-Client relationship, the client's best interests are always considered and placed first.  Calogero Law Firm is honored by the trust and confidence exhibited by its clients when retaining the firm's legal services.  Our firm works diligently in attempting to obtain a favorable result for all clients.

The Louisiana Supreme Court has described the attorney-client relationship as follows:

The relationship between an attorney and his client is one of necessity, of
mutual confidence and trust. In no other agency relationship is a greater duty of trust imposed than in that involving an attorney's duty to his client. 

The Louisiana Second Circuit Court of Appeal further clarified the nature of the attorney-client relationship: The law leaves no uncertainty in defining the character of duty which an attorney owes to his client. The relationship of attorney and client is more than a contract. It superinduces a trust status of the highest order and devolves upon the attorney the imperative duty of dealing with the client only on the basis of the strictest fidelity and honor.

In advising his client and conducting the latter's affairs, an attorney is bound to exercise that reasonable care and diligence which is usually exercised by lawyers and must possess and employ the ordinary legal knowledge and skill which is common to the members of the profession. This, however, is not the full extent of a lawyer's duties or obligations to his client; he is, in addition, bound to conduct himself as a fiduciary or trustee occupying the highest position of trust and confidence, so that, in all his relations with his client, it is his duty to exercise and maintain the utmost good faith, honesty, integrity, fairness and fidelity.
