Legal malpractice, attorney’s negligence, legal omission, etc., no matter what you call it, when your attorney has failed to perform his legal duties to the standard which he is held to, it harms the client financially and emotionally! Clients hire an attorney to help and entrust them with their legal problems. All cases are important to the client, whether their case involves large amounts of money or modest amounts of money, it is important to them. The clients have little or no understanding of the legal system and are placed in a difficult situation to entrust their legal matters to lawyer who is to handle their matters professionally and competently.
Breach of Duty - An attorney has the duty to represent their clients competently and breaches their duty when the attorney mishandles their case. There are a number of ways in which an attorney breaches their fiduciary duty -
- Failure to appear in court
- Failure to file a law suit in a timely manner
- Settling a client’s case without their consent
- Failing to contact their clients
- Failing to involve their clients in how to handle their case
Causation of Financial Harm - if an attorney breaches their duty and causes the client financial harm, then the client may sue their attorney for their financial losses.
