Follow the Rules or Forget Your Fees
While all states have rules addressing attorney practices, New York appears to stand alone in singling out the matrimonial practice for special attention. New York matrimonial and family law practitioners are highly regulated. We are governed, not only by general disciplinary rules and the code of professional conduct applicable to all attorneys, but we are also regulated by what is commonly known as the 'Matrimonial Rules,' set forth in the New York Code of Rules and Regulations. In addition, the disciplinary rules also contain provisions, exclusive to family law practitioners, prohibiting contingency fee retainers and restricting sexual relationships between attorney and client.
