How to get it right ethically, legally and procedurally when your client’s communication, presentation or delivery are compromised.
As more people from other countries and cultures move to Arizona in the aftermath of a pandemic, we will each serve clients who face cultural, language, mental health and other barriers to accessing justice.No matter what your area of practice, most of us will engage a client who doesn’t quite “fit the mold.”In every area of practice, and at every stage of service, there are opportunities to overcome obstacles for a successful outcome in cross-culture practice.
- Does your client speak English?
- Is your client from a different culture?
- Does your client require a translator?
- Is your client facing severe health challenges? .
- Does your client have a mental health challenge?
- Does your client have addiction allegations?
Effective representation starts with managing client expectations, navigating translation and cultural challenges, and screening for mental health challenges. Some of your client’s weaknesses could be the greatest strengths of your case.
