Rule 4.3 Dealing With Unrepresented Person

ABA RULE 4.3 

Adopted, Effective Jan. 1, 2008

TRANSACTIONS WITH PERSONS OTHER THAN CLIENTS
Rule 4.3: Dealing With Unrepresented Person

    In dealing on behalf of a client with a person who is not represented by counsel, a lawyer shall not state or imply that the lawyer is disinterested. When the lawyer knows or reasonably should know that the unrepresented person misunderstands the lawyer’s role in the matter, the lawyer shall make reasonable efforts to correct the misunderstanding. The lawyer shall not give legal advice to an unrepresented person, other than the advice to secure counsel, if the lawyer knows or reasonably should know that the interests of such a person are or have a reasonable possibility of being in conflict with the interests of the client.
