When an attorney handles your case in a negligent manner, you have the chance to right that wrong through a malpractice suit. In order to be successful you must show two things: 1) that your attorney handled the case in a negligent manner, and 2) that this negatively impacted the outcome of your case.
For example, a legal malpractice case based on an attorney’s negligence can include the following: inaccurate drafting of a contract, a Will or Trust, Trust Amendment, or a Settlement Agreement, or providing poor advice. Deliberate conduct can include actions like: failing to file on time, failing to respond to opposing counsel, engaging in criminal activity, such as fraud, deceit, or exerting undue influence. This can also include a breach of their fiduciary duty.
If there has been wrongdoing on the part of your previous attorney, you may have the option to sue.
