Are lawyers allowed to comfort or feel sympathy for their clients?



In cases where their client could've went through things such as abuse, rape, ect. Are attorneys free to comfort or try to help their clients on a personal level regardless of whether they won or loss the case. Or must they strictly stay professional?
Your question is unclear. I would expect your attorney to be empathetic to you. Comforting words and understanding would likely be appropriate, but is not necessary.
if you have hired help, it is crucial to talk with your agent about what you are and are not covered for. this can be different in every state and every situation. 

for example, if the babysitter you get from time to time is hurt on your property, your policy will cover this. however, if you directly employ a full-time nanny, they may not be covered since in some states, you would be required to provide workers’ compensation insurance. 

also, there can be a difference depending on whether you directly hire someone or if they are part of an agency that you contract through. usually, if your employee is part of an agency, they will already have insurance with that company. 

as you can see, there are a lot of potential scenarios to consider, and it would be best to speak with your insurance agent. this is a situation where most people are not adequately protected. dear jenny, <br>i can assure you that psychology students are far from immune to needing counselling ! not even psychologists are immune. and you could point out to her that at the very least she should be able to learn usefully about herself and about such problems, even if in the process she and her counsellor conclude that she personally has no particular problem. it&#39;ll be valuable practical experience for her ! <br>and maybe print out lindie&#39;s helpful and insighful message, and let her see it, for some valuable first-hand testimony on the value of this process ! Not normally. You can call the facility and speak to a counselor or case manager and ask nicely if they will relay a message. The rules are usually against this, but if you ask nicely, they might pass along your urgent message. every individuals have diff way of coping , some people can't be happy without someone on their side or sometimes they are sad and wants to be around people. Some people are not strong enough emo and mentally to be alone so they want something to be busy about rather than thinking about the break up but some people just dont feel pain or just ignore the pain. part of becoming an adult and having a family of your own is learning how to manage relationships with other people... like your own parents. it can be devastating to have a parent with mental illness, i do understand, my dad lost his battle with mental illness several years ago. however, when you are responsible for a child of your own, you've got to be able to function no matter what else is happening around you. part of that is giving yourself time and space to grieve and to feel what you are feeling rather than trying to stuff it down. find someone to talk to that you can let those tears go with, a counselor... or friend... your husband... even calling a warmline if necessary. the baby will be fine. It depends on the situation of how and why he hit her, because I know there's also crazy women out there too, who attack guys and then when they defend themselves they get the blame for it.  
  
Or just women in general that can hit people too but not many people ever talk about that, it's always guys being the violent ones mainly.  
  
Generally no, a man shouldn't hit a woman out of respect, but it just depends on a lot of factors. It would be wrong to say a person like that never changes too, because people do change and can have the possibility of changing.   
  
On the other hand if I knew a man had hit a woman and I was getting to know him more, I would be cautious of him and his actions but I would not judge him for it. It's best to get to know a person for real on your own personal judgements, but also to take in cautious factors about what you do know about them, incase you need to avoid it in future. i once had an abhorrent admirer, and he eventually sexually assaulted me. i don't even know how many times i told him prior to that that i wasn't interested, but it was definitely more than about ten times. he came over one night and asked me to let him in my apartment just to talk and to say goodbye. i thought (stupidly) that he was genuine, since that's all i wanted, and he knew it -- the goodbye part. people are unpredictable and can be dangerous. my advice is to just ignore, ignore, ignore. block if you need to, and don't give in to anything, even if you're "just trying to be nice" or "you don't want to hurt the person". and those people who are being harassed shouldn't tell someone to leave them alone, only to call *them* the next day - even just to check up on them and see if they're okay. no. just ignore them. don't send mixed messages, and there is no need to lose control over it. just ignore, block, and document it if it persists - because you never know if you have to make it a police issue. eventually people tire of not being recognized as that's all these types of people want -- attention. if they don't get it from one person, they eventually move on to someone else to get what they need. never keep throwing the past in someone's face. That's like slapping someone in the face with every little mistake they are trying to still heal from day to day. that's abusive. probably why she held a lot of resentment seeking out comfort from another man.   
another thing is. the on and off shananagens is due to lack of trust and lots of selfishness.   
if you're ever in that position again. learn from it.. always bring someone up no matter what mistakes they're making. 2 wrongs don't make a right. always be the better Samaritan.  
children will always be a sticky situation. always make good choices that suite what you want and what you're mentally, physically and financially mature enough to handle.   
May the force be with you!!! with a therapist or psychologist that you trust. such a person will help you sort out what is making you think you were abused and feelings associated with this idea and how this affects you life today. you can find a psychologist close to you here: locator.apa.org find someone who knows about sexual abuse and who you like and who feels safe. see more... try calling famsa, which can suggest a number of counsellors in your area, and has some knowledge of costs, and which can make some adjustment according to earnings. i&#39;d also recommend that you seek a counsellor who will deal with all your current problems, and avoid one that would wan to focus too exclusively on abuse issues  they too often are too busy riding their own hobby-horse that they dont&#39; deal so well with your needs
