What is legal malpractice?

As with professionals in the field of medicine, attorneys have a duty to provide clients with a standard level of legal service. Cases involving legal malpractice are particularly serious because the outcome of any criminal or civil matter may literally impact a client's life. If you are negligently represented in a criminal case, you may be convicted of a crime that you did not commit or may be persuaded into accepting a plea bargain that is not truly right for your situation. If your attorney fails to properly assist you in a civil matter, you may lose your case against another party or may be held liable for damages that you were not responsible for. This may lead to extreme financial difficulties as well as emotional trauma.

A legal professional has the duty to provide capable representation based off knowledge and experience. When this does not occur, you may have the right to hold that individual or law firm responsible.
