Conflict of Interest

Do You Have...




Do you, your company, your family, your employer put you at risk for conflict of interest in your practice? Consider the following:

  • Do your political and/or religious views put you in a place of being unable to act for the client in their best interest?

  • Do you have a financial gain in the work you do outside of the normal fee arrangement approved by the courts?

  • Do you employ family members that create a financial interest in your decision-making ability for the client?

  • Do the vendors you use, ie.realtors, bankers, AFH, provide you gifts or other “kick backs” in order to use their services?

  • Do you own entities that your client’s funds support other then your court ordered activity?

  • Do you have a vested interest in any organization or person which might assist your client in any way:

o Housekeeping services
o Vehicle repair
o Tax preparation
o Foster care home
o Personal financial benefit
o Etc.etc.etc.etc.
