Rule 4.3 Dealing with unrepresented person
Rule Text
In dealing on behalf of a client with a person who is not represented by counsel, a lawyer shall not state or imply that the lawyer is disinterested. When the lawyer knows or reasonably should know that the unrepresented person misunderstands the lawyer's role in the matter, the lawyer shall make reasonable efforts to correct the misunderstanding. The lawyer shall not give legal advice to an unrepresented person, other than the advice to secure counsel, if the lawyer knows or reasonably should know that the interests of such a person are or have a reasonable possibility of being in conflict with the interests of the client. An otherwise unrepresented client for whom an Entry of Limited Appearance has been filed pursuant to Rule 1.2 is considered to be unrepresented for purposes of this Rule unless the opposing lawyer has been served with notice of the limited appearance, or the opposing lawyer is otherwise notified that an Entry of Limited Appearance has been filed or will be filed. In such instance, the otherwise unrepresented client is considered to be unrepresented only with regard to matters outside the scope of the limited appearance.
