	AC. No. 9310 2013-02-27	VERLEEN TRINIDAD v. ATTY. ANGELITO VILLARIN SERENO, C.J.
As the lawyer of Purence Realty, respondent is expected to champion the cause of his client with wholehearted fidelity, care, and devotion.[19] This simply means that his client is entitled to the benefit of any and every remedy and defense[20] including the institution of an ejectment case that is recognized by our property laws. In Legarda v. Court of Appeals, we held that in the full discharge of their duties to the client, lawyers shall not be afraid of the possibility that they may displease the general public.[21]
	AC. No. 7433 2009-12-23	CESAR TALENTO v. ATTY. AGUSTIN F. PANEDA LEONARDO-DE CASTRO, J.
A lawyer, when he undertakes his client's cause, makes a covenant that he will exert all efforts for its prosecution until its final conclusion. He should undertake the task with dedication and care, and he should do no less, otherwise, he is not true to his lawyer's oath.[18]
