Attorney Malpractice and Attorney Dispute Fees
Fortunately, attorney malpractice is not the norm, but it does occur. When it happens, it is extremely important that you hire competent and experienced council. Because you are seeking to prove that an attorney, who is intimately familiar with the law, did not render competent professional service, it is crucial that you not go at it alone. Hiring a lawyer is the best way to prove your case and if legally mandated, help you receive compensation for your losses.
In order to prove attorney malpractice, you will need to prove that the lawyer you hired failed to provide services which were professional and competent. Breach of contract, negligence and breach of fiduciary duty are all forms of legal malpractice or liability.
It is important when attempting to prove legal malpractice that you are able to show that the attorney you hired had a responsibility to represent you in a competent fashion, that the lawyer made some sort of mistake or that their was some sort of breach of duty. Each of these things will need to have resulted in some sort of loss or harm and resulted in damages.
