Miami - Fort Lauderdale - West Palm Beach - Broward County, FL
As the complexity of the legal system has grown over the years, so too has the prevalence of legal malpractice. Legal malpractice cases can be complex, and they often involve going up against large malpractice insurance companies and the law firms they hire to defend malpractice suits. Unlike more familiar areas such as contracts and personal injury, it is often difficult for individuals to recognize when they have been victims of legal malpractice. Common instances of legal malpractice involve the lawyer's failure to exercise ordinary skill, prudence and diligence; breach of a duty owed to the client; and damage to the client caused by that breach of duty. Legal malpractice can take many forms, such as irretrievably missing a critical filing deadline, performing an inadequate title search in a real estate transaction, breaching a fiduciary duty, engaging in a conflict of interest, mishandling client funds, and charging fees beyond those provided in a fee arrangement.
