Having an attorney by your side is often an important first step towards recovering losses and receiving justice for your claim – but what happens when you discover that your lawyer may not have had your best intentions at heart?

Types of Attorney Malpractice
While there are many forms of legal Malpractice, most instances can usually be separated into three main categories: negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract:
After hiring an attorney, they are expected to handle your case to the best of their ability. If you believe that your lawyer treated your case worse than the average lawyer would, he or she may be found guilty of negligence in handling your claim.
When a lawyer behaves in a manner that benefits him or her but to the detriment of their client’s case, they may be guilty of breaching fiduciary duty. An attorney can be held liable for any losses a client suffered as a result of a breach of fiduciary duty.
After signing a contract with an attorney, he or she is obligated to provide you with competent and professional service. If a lawyer fails to uphold the contract, you may be eligible to recover damages.
If you have been a victim of any of the above, you may be eligible to lodge a compensation claim. We can take care of filing all of the necessary documentation to begin your litigation, and will help to explain the process along the way.
