Your Advocate, Not Your “Yes Man”

February 9, 2012 | by Einhorn Barbarito

Zealous advocacy does not mean blind advocacy, especially in matrimonial matters. A truly good and responsible matrimonial attorney does not just unquestioningly follow a client’s directives; the attorney must examine the facts of the case and make recommendations to the client which will be to the client’s benefit, while also taking into account the other parties in the case.

We have all heard the news stories—“Director of Hoboken Parking Utility Pleads Guilty to Official Misconduct”; “Former Denville police officer pleads guilty to misconduct”; “The half-brother of Trenton Mayor Tony Mack has pleaded guilty to two counts of official misconduct”; and “Former Dover police dispatcher pleads guilty to official misconduct.” But, I bet you don’t know the serious consequences that accompany New Jersey’s Official Misconduct statute.
