Ethics and Risk Management When Your Client is Involved in Family Law Issues

Presented By: Steven R. Cohen, Ph.D. and Jane Iannuzzelli, Med., MA

Registration 1pm Program: 1:30pm to 4:30pm

3.0 CE Credits

Act 48 Credits Available

We cannot predict when and if our clients become involved in Family Law issues. Whether we are treating an adult, a child, or a family; there is a high likelihood that at some point in our career we will become involved in legal and court related issues. This could range from a simple request for records, to writing reports, and possibly testifying in court. If we are not informed about the legal and ethical standards when dealing with these situations, we could make an inadvertent error and face an ethics or Board complaint. This workshop will help you identify the ethical and practice standards when dealing with clients who are involved in Family Law issues, and educate you about best practices in dealing with attorneys and the courts.

Objectives:

1. Identify the sources of ethical and practice standards when dealing with clients who are involved in family law issues.
2. Identify actions that they should and should not take when dealing with attorneys and the courts.
3. Analyze how to maintain their duty to the client while responding ethically to attorneys and the court.
4. Understand the roles of a Forensic Expert, a Treating Expert, and a Fact Witness.
