Co-Counseling Arrangements
On occasion, certain real estate, trademark and business law services offered by IndianaVirtualLaw will be co-counseled using both lawyers from Vivo Law Offices, LLC and Matthew A. Griffith, J.D. or other lawyers who are not attorneys in Vivo Law Offices, LLC. Such co-counsel arrangements will not increase the fee owed by the client but are governed by the Rules of Professional Conduct pertaining to the division of fees. A division of fee is a single billing to a client covering the fee of two or more lawyers who are not in the same firm. A division of fee facilitates association of more than one lawyer in a matter in which neither alone could serve the client as well. The Rules of Professional Conduct permit lawyers to divide a fee either on the basis of the proportion of services they render or if each lawyer assumes responsibility for the representation as a whole. In addition, the client must agree to the arrangement, including the share that each lawyer is to receive, and the agreement must be confirmed in writing. Joint responsibility for the representation entails financial and ethical responsibility for the representation as if the lawyers were associated in a partnership. Pursuant to the Rules of Professional Conduct , Vivo Law Offices will only refer a matter to a lawyer whom we reasonably believe is competent to handle the matter.
