A.C. No. 5162 | 2003-03-20

D E C I S I O N

BELLOSILLO, J.:

A LAWYER OWES FIDELITY to the cause of his client mindful always of the trust and confidence reposed in him.[1] An attorney-at-law must serve his client with competence and diligence at all times,[2] and never neglect a legal matter entrusted to him,[3] for it is his sworn duty to delay no man for money or malice and to conduct himself in a proper manner not just to his client, but also to the court, the legal profession and society at large.

This is an administrative complaint for disbarment filed by the EMILIANO COURT TOWNHOUSES HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION (ECTHA) against ATTY. MICHAEL DIONEDA.
