Legal Issues: The Attorney/Client Relationship
Most HVAC engineers and related industry members probably dont relish the prospect of seeing a lawyer. However, given the litigious nature of our society, and the myriad of problems that require legal advice, theres a good possibility that at some point most engineers will have to consult an attorney.
