13-2407. Legal malpractice; attorney duty to warn.
A lawyer has a duty to advise the client of negative consequences a reasonable lawyer would conclude may result from the course of action the lawyer recommends. This duty does not require a lawyer to discuss with the lawyer’s client every possibility, no matter how small or remote.
USE NOTES
This instruction should be given in cases where a plaintiff claims a lawyer breached the duty of care by failing to inform the client of negative consequences resulting from following the lawyer’s recommendation.
