PER CURIAM |
||||
| Manifestly, respondent has fallen short of the competence and diligence required of every member of the Bar in relation to his client. As counsel for complainant, respondent had the duty to present every remedy or defense authorized by law to protect his client. When he undertook his client's cause, he made a covenant that he will exert all efforts for its prosecution until its final conclusion. He should undertake the task with dedication and care, and if he should do no less, then he is not true to his lawyer's oath.[5] | |||||
