Legal Malpractice Claims

Legal malpractice occurs when an attorney fails to provide competent representation to their client, resulting in harm or financial loss. This could include negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, or a failure to meet professional standards. Examples might involve missing important deadlines, conflicts of interest, or poor case handling.

To have a valid legal malpractice case, you need to prove the following:

• Negligence: The attorney failed to meet the standard of care expected in the legal profession of a reasonable and prudent attorney under similar circumstances.
• Causation: The attorney's negligence directly caused harm or loss to your case or claim.
• Damages: You suffered financial or other harm as a result.

If you believe your previous attorney mishandled your case, we can help evaluate whether you have a claim.
