When a business hires an attorney, it is not simply retaining a service provider—it is entering into one of the most trusted relationships recognized under the law. At the core of that relationship is an attorney’s fiduciary duty: the legal obligation to put the client’s interests above all others, including the attorney’s own.
At Frisella Law Firm, we believe fiduciary duty is not just a legal requirement. It is the foundation of everything we do—and the starting point for a much deeper client partnership.
What Is an Attorney’s Fiduciary Duty?
An attorney’s fiduciary duty represents the highest standard of representation under the law. This duty encompasses far more than legal advice or courtroom advocacy. It includes:
-
Loyalty: Acting solely in the client’s best interest
-
Confidentiality: Protecting sensitive business and financial information
-
Competence: Maintaining the legal knowledge and skill necessary to represent the client effectively
-
Full Disclosure: Providing transparency regarding risks, strategies, and outcomes
-
Reputation Protection: Safeguarding the client’s professional standing
This duty of loyalty does not end when a case closes. In fact, it extends into the future, forming the basis for conflict-of-interest rules that prevent attorneys from acting against a client—even years later.
Fiduciary duty is what establishes trust, demands accountability, and ensures that legal representation is aligned with the client’s long-term interests.
Fiduciary Duty Is the Baseline—Not the Finish Line
While fiduciary duty should be the cornerstone of every law firm, at Frisella Law Firm, it is only the beginning.
Our philosophy goes beyond resolving individual disputes or collecting on delinquent accounts. We focus on creating long-term partnerships with our clients—relationships designed to strengthen their businesses and reduce future risk.
Our ultimate goal?
To dramatically reduce—and, where possible, eliminate—the long-term need for B2B collections.
A Proactive Partnership Approach
Rather than treating commercial debt collection as a purely transactional, case-by-case service, we work collaboratively with our clients to improve their legal and operational positioning over time. This includes:
Contract Review & Risk Assessment
We review existing contracts to identify weaknesses, ambiguities, or enforcement issues that can lead to disputes or nonpayment.
Negotiation Counseling
We advise clients during contract negotiations to ensure terms are clear, enforceable, and aligned with their business goals—before problems arise.
Strategic Planning & Internal Education
We help educate internal management, finance, and legal teams on best practices that strengthen collections, reduce disputes, and improve leverage in future disagreements.
These services are not add-ons or upsells. They are not offered as a courtesy.
They are central to our business model.
Not Transactional—Intentional
At Frisella Law Firm, B2B collections are not just about recovering money owed. They are about understanding why disputes occur, identifying patterns, and implementing strategies that prevent repeat issues.
Our commitment is to find every possible way to improve our clients’ collection outcomes, not just in the current case, but in the years ahead. That commitment is rooted in fiduciary responsibility—and expanded through partnership.
