Client v. Moorhead

Client v. Moorhead is a legal case that focused on the issue of whether a lawyer could recover fees from a client when the lawyer's performance was deemed inadequate or had not been clearly agreed upon. The court ruled that lawyers must provide services to the standard expected and have clear agreements about fees. If a lawyer fails to provide competent service, they may not be entitled to payment. The case underscores the importance of clear communication and expectations between lawyers and their clients regarding legal representation and payment.
