Bruce, an attorney, decides to set up his own practice. He hires Steve to assist him with the practice. Bruce comes to the office twice a year and relies on Steve, a non-lawyer, to meet with clients and to handle virtually all of the responsibilities in the office. Bruce does call and check up on Steve by telephone once per day . This is an acceptable practice under California law and ethical rules.
