Legal Malpractice Claims

Allegations of legal malpractice can occur during any phase of the attorney-client relationship, but most often these allegations fall within the legal fields of litigation or transactional malpractice. In legal malpractice claims, clients must prove that your actions prevented them from receiving a result that they should have obtained. Clients also must show that their injuries are so great that they warrant holding you liable.

If retained, we will immediately begin investigating the allegations against you. Our goal is to reach a prompt resolution of the claims made. Some of the more common types of legal malpractice and professional liability claims we defend include allegations of:

• Missed statutes of limitation / deadlines
• Conflicts of interest
• Incompetency regarding the law
• Failure to follow an instruction or get a client's consent
• Fraudulent billing
• Failed transactions and mergers
