Answer:

right

Step-by-step explanation:

Right, as a verb, can be defined as: "restore to a normal or upright position".

That is the only thing that makes sense in this context. The attorney wants to correct the bad things done by the client.

Wright is a noun. Write means to "mark (letters) on a surface)". And rite is a noun correlated to the idea of rituals. Non of those make sense in the sentence.
