DC Professional Malpractice Attorney
Accountant’s Malpractice, Legal Malpractice, Stock Brokerage and Financial Consulting Malpractice, Architects and Engineers Malpractice. Professional Malpractice
Many professions are subject to malpractice claims for failure to provide the required care or advice: accountants, architects, lawyers, engineers, insurance representatives, stock brokers and financial planners. Such professionals are often entrusted with delicate and important matters in order to achieve the client's goals. When that professional fails to exercise the appropriate care or detail to an entrusted matter, the result can be financial catastrophe. The pursuit of claims for professional malpractice requires the expertise and experience in working with expert witnesses needed to establish the required standard of care, and the ability to prove that the damages incurred were a direct result of the professional’s wrongdoing. With certain highly specialized cases, we also believe that the client’s opportunity to establish liability and for maximum recovery is to associate with other trial attorneys who have successfully previously pursued such claims.
Legal Malpractice
Although there is no precise definition of legal malpractice, generally speaking, an attorney commits malpractice when he or she fails to provide competent or ethical legal services to a client. A legal client entrusts his or her counselor with the most delicate and important matters in order to achieve the client's goals. At times, the very life of a company or business is dependent on an attorneys’ representation, tactics and advice. When that attorney negligently or intentionally fails to exercise the appropriate care, attention, and detail to an entrusted matter, the result can be a financial catastrophe. Claims for legal malpractice include negligent advice, conflict of interests, failure to act timely and the disclosure of confidential information causing the client harm. We have successfully represented clients in legal malpractice actions involving business and real estate advice, labor and back pay awards, conflicts of interest, and breach of fiduciary duty. We are prepared to investigate and pursue claims of attorney negligence and are prepared to help you recover the financial loss you have sustained as a result of legal malpractice.
