| A lawyer even one suspended from practicing the profession owes it to his client to not "sit idly by and leave the rights of his client in a state of uncertainty."[27] The client "should never be left groping in the dark" and instead must be "adequately and fully informed about the developments in his case."[28] | |||||

| Once a lawyer takes up the cause of his client, he is duty bound to serve his client with competence, and to attend to his client's cause with diligence, care and devotion regardless of whether he accepts it for a fee or for free.[6] He owes fidelity to such cause and must always be mindful of the trust and confidence reposed on him.[7] | |||||
