Here Is The King Kong Of Statuates and Rules In California !!! Included in the attorney-client relationship is an attorney’s duty of undivided loyalty and fidelity to his or her clients. See Alkow v. State Bar (1971) 3 Cal.3d 924, 92 Cal.Rptr. 278, 479 P.2d 638; Mason v. Levy and Van Bourg (4th Dist. 1978) 77 Cal.App.3d 60, 143 Cal.Rptr. 389. The concept of loyalty involves a commitment to the client, see Stanley v. Richmond (1st Dist. 1995) 35 Cal.App.4th 1070, 41 Cal.Rptr.2d 768 (attorney may not assume any position that would prevent him or her from devoting his or her entire energies to his or her client’s interests), preservation of client confidential information, see B&PC § 6068(e) (attorney must preserve the secrets of his or her client at every peril to himself or herself) and avoiding conflicts of interest that might impair the representation or undermine a relationship of trust, see CRPC 3-310 (attorney may not accept or continue representation where there are potential conflicts of interest without informed written consent of the client). An attorney’s duty of loyalty is so inviolate that not even by withdrawing from the relationship can the attorney evade it. See Flatt v. Superior Court (1994) 9 Cal.4th 275, 36 Cal.Rptr.2d 537, 885 P.2d 950.
