Areas of Practice
Attorney Malpractice
We have represented more than 100 attorneys
in defense of attorney malpractice claims
involving many areas of concentration. Liability
insurance companies for lawyers are often
willing to defer to the desires of their
insureds regarding the lawyer they prefer to
represent them. Cases on which we have
represented attorneys which have reached the
appellate level are listed in the “reported
cases” section of the “Home Page” of the
website.
For those considering pursuit of attorney
malpractice claims, we have also evaluated the
merits of claims on behalf of those allegedly
harmed by the attorney’s negligence. To sustain
the burden of proof in an attorney malpractice
case, one must not only persuade a jury that the
attorney defendant fell below the appropriate
standard of care, but also that our client was
damaged as a result thereof. Essentially, one
must prove the underlying case, i.e. that the
case in which the attorney was representing the
client probably would have been successful if
the attorney had not been negligent, as well as
that the attorney was negligent.
