Legal Malpractice
The law can be complex, and navigating our state and federal court systems is not easy. But what are your options when you believe your lawyer has acted in a way to hurt your chance of achieving the best possible outcome? You may be able to pursue a legal malpractice suit for financial compensation.
Poor Outcomes Do Not Equal Malpractice
If you are a victim of malpractice, it is a safe bet that your case did not turn out how you would have liked. But it is important to remember that a case not turning out in your favor does not necessarily mean that you are a victim of malpractice. Examples of legal malpractice include:
- Taking a case despite a conflict of interest
- Stealing from clients
- Breach of fiduciary duty
- Missed deadlines
- Failure to follow instructions
- Inadequate preparation
- Asserting incorrect claims or defenses
- Failure to introduce evidence
Representing the Victims of Lawyer Negligence
At Tremont Sheldon P.C., we are skilled at handling legal malpractice cases. This is a tough area, as we have to pursue cases against our colleagues in the legal profession. However, we believe strongly in upholding the highest ideals of our profession and have dedicated our firm’s practice to standing up for the victims of negligence.
We made the decision years ago to bring claims on behalf of people who were financially damaged by an attorney’s negligence or dishonesty. This decision was made after we concluded that it would be hypocritical of us to require doctors, motorists and manufacturers to follow the law but allow our fellow lawyers to break the law and get away with it.
