by an attorney’s professional malpractice, please
contact us today to discuss your situation. We
do the best we possibly can for every client in
every case. We have a proven track record of achieving great results on behalf of our clients. Legal malpractice suits are based on an
attorney’s failure to perform legal services
according to a minimum standard of professional care
imposed by the law. When this breach of duty causes
injury and actual loss, clients may be entitled to
compensation in the form of damages. If you think
that your attorney failed in their duty regarding
the handling of your case, you need an attorney who
can prove that your former attorney’s actions caused
you injury and actual loss.
Some of the general reasons for legal
malpractice suits include:
- Negligence occurs in cases where an attorney
has failed in their duty to act in a reasonably
careful way. Failure to properly advise a
client; accepting cases for which they are not
qualified; mishandling a case; missing court
deadlines; and failing to adequately investigate
a case are some of the types of negligence for
which an attorney may be liable.
- Breach of Fiduciary Duty - the client/attorney
relationship is special and is known as a
“fiduciary relationship”. Fiduciary
relationships impose the highest duty under the
law. Attorneys must act with the “utmost care”
and treat the client’s interests as their own,
providing undivided loyalty to their client. In
cases where a lawyer has acted with a conflict
of interest, improper motives, or betrayed the
confidence of their client, they may be liable
for a breach of fiduciary duty.
- Conflicts of Interests that occur if a
lawyer’s personal interests or representation of
another client’s interest that opposes yours.
- Missing the Statute of Limitations
- Incorrect Real Estate Title searches
- Fee Agreements and Disputes
Clients are entitled to place complete trust and
confidence in the lawyer hired to represent them.
