Legal Malpractice Lawsuits
I have represented clients throughout Indiana in legal malpractice lawsuits and fee disputes for the past 31 years. Some of the common causes of legal malpractice claims include:
- Failure to file documents timely
- Negligent failure to prepare documents correctly
- Negligent research
- Failure to know the law
- Conflicts of interest
- Breach of fiduciary duty
- Disclosure of confidential information
- Violations of statutes such as the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act
- Theft or misappropriation of client funds
- Malicious prosecution and abuse of process
- Other forms of legal malpractice
I have handled attorney mistakes involving divorces, personal injury suits, wills, estates, trusts, medical malpractice cases, real estate transactions, business deals, child support, adoptions, patents, criminal matters, and other areas of law.
A legal malpractice claim is a complex matter. Even if it appears obvious that an attorney has committed negligence or other forms of malpractice, the claim is still likely to be complex. It takes more than malpractice to make a good legal malpractice case. That is why I analyze each inquiry. I encourage you to contact me to learn more about your rights and options regarding your problems with an attorney.
