Solution

Statement II is incorrect. While an advocate is expected to represent their clients to the best of their ability, there are certain circumstances where they may not be able to do so. For example, if there is a conflict of interest, or if the client is asking them to act in an illegal or unethical manner, the advocate may have to refuse representation.
