What is
legal malpractice? Legal malpractice is an umbrella term to
define a suit against a lawyer.
To determine
if he/she has been a victim of legal malpractice, a client
should ask himself/herself questions such as:
| • |
Was
my case dismissed because my lawyer failed to diligently
pursue the case? |
| • |
Was
my case dismissed because my lawyer failed to designate
expert witnesses or failed to provide adequate expert
reports? |
| • |
Did
my lawyer force me to settle my case for an inadequate
amount due to a conflict of interest? |
| • |
Did I get sued because my lawyer drafted a document
or agreement that was improper or ambiguous? |
| • |
Did
I lose my case because my lawyer drafted a document
or agreement that was improper or ambiguous? |
| • |
Did the lawyer sign documents without my consent? |
| • |
Did the lawyer settle my case below the policy limits
that were available? |
| • |
Did the lawyer use adequate "discovery"? |
| • |
Did the lawyer "dump" my case just before
the statute of limitations ran out? |
| • |
Did my lawyer force me to settle out of court instead
of going to trial because of his/her lack of preparation
or experience? |
| • |
Did the lawyer prepare sufficiently for my case? |
| • |
Did
I get an improper or inadequate settlement in my original
suit? |
