Legal Malpractice Information

Legal malpractice takes place when an attorney fails to live up to his or her end of a legal contract. Usually, there must be two conditions met to establish legal malpractice - a person must prove their lawyer’s actions caused damages and that these damages were suffered on account of the attorney’s missteps or inactions.

The law is very complicated, and as such it takes a person many years before he or she can master the intricacies and subtle nuances of understanding and interpreting law. It’s important to instigate legal malpractice suits not only to right a wrong, but also to ensure you get the compensation you deserve for your undeserved struggle.

If you believe you were the victim of legal malpractice, contact a professional, get help for your troubles today.

Legal Malpractice - Failure to File Lawsuit

There are many different and important steps that need to be taken when filing a lawsuit, and your attorney has an obligation to make sure that each facet of the case is handled effectively and efficiently. These tasks can range from filing simple complaint declarations to gathering vital expert testimony. Though many legal professionals are responsible and concerned, too often important papers and steps will fall through the cracks and such mistakes can cost you the victory that you deserve.

There are strict timelines mandated by the courts and laws and if your attorney fails to meet these deadlines, you could suffer the consequences. This intentional or unintentional oversight can be an attempt to cheat you out of your fee, reduce the caseload of an overworked staff, or a simple and inexcusable mistake by incompetent or inexperienced legal professionals. Stand up against those who wronged you and help restore your faith in the legal process. Contact a dedicated and experienced lawyer today.

Confidentiality Violations & Legal Malpractice Lawsuits

The attorney-client privilege is not only the bedrock upon which client relations are built but also the basis for all trust in the legal system. Without full and honest discourse an attorney cannot in good faith represent their client, and the client must be able to trust their attorney with their secrets if they hope to surmount their legal challenges.

Breaking confidentiality is one of the most heinous breaches of trust in the legal world. Should your attorney violate your trust and divulge confidential information you have the right, the duty, and the obligation to take action, and we are happy to assist you.
