Lawyers who answer legal hotlines can’t rely on a disclaimer to avoid forming an attorney-client relationship, even with one-time callers, a New Jersey Supreme Court ethics committee held on Thursday.
A disclaimer is ineffective “as it is likely such a relationship will arise in the course of the provision of services by the attorneys staffing the legal hotline,” the Advisory Committee on Professional Ethics said in Opinion 712.
