Legal Malpractice

Lawyers can make mistakes or even put their financial interests ahead of the interests of their clients. When this happens, a claim for legal malpractice can arise. Types of legal malpractice cases can include missed deadlines and breach of a fiduciary duty. Communication between an attorney and client is very important, and failure to adequately communicate with the client can also lead to a legal malpractice claim.

Examples of legal malpractice include:

failure to meet a filing or service deadline

failure to sue within the statute of limitations

failure to perform a conflicts check

failure to apply the law correctly to a client’s situation

abuse of a client’s trust account

failure to return telephone calls
