An attorney has an ethical duty to provide competent representation to their client, which requires the legal knowledge, skill, thoroughness, and preparation reasonably necessary for the representation. This includes the use of technology, such as cybersecurity. If an attorney knows that they may not be the best attorney for their client's specific case and that more qualified attorneys are available locally, it may be necessary for them to inform the client of this and recommend that they seek out a more qualified attorney. This is in line with the lawyer's obligation to provide competent representation and to act in the best interests of their client. However, it is ultimately up to the client to decide whether to retain the attorney or seek out another one.
