Social networking use can impact cases, as can the actions of a lawyer that thinks he or she is helping a client manage their social networking presence. While clients are often told by their attorneys to beware of what is said in social networks, some attorneys put warnings in their retainer agreements and others back it up in the intake process with handouts and fliers, the case reported in the American Bar Association Journal is a WARNING, WARNING WILL ROBINSON story to take note of!!
