When lawyers breach their duty of care and cause harm to their client
We have come to rely on professionals, whether it be in the field of medicine or law. Legal malpractice cases are less common than medical malpractice cases. Both fall under the category of professional negligence.
We rely on lawyers to be responsible and ethical and to provide reliable and competent services. Mostly, that is what we receive from such professionals – except when we don’t.
Suppose you believe that your attorney acted improperly and, in so doing, damaged your legal case; you might have a valid claim for legal malpractice against the lawyer. The best way to know with substantial certainty is to consult a legal expert in legal malpractice.
The following have been considered legal malpractice:
- Failure To Calendar Critical Deadline
- Failure To Obtain Client’s Consent
- Conflict Of Interest
- Failure To Follow Client Instructions
- Abandonment
- Malicious Prosecution
- Improper Withdrawal From Case
- Lost File or Critical Document
- Conflict Of Interest
- Fraud On Client
