Why You May Want to Consult a Legal
Malpractice Attorney
All attorneys are required to perform to a minimum standard of
care as measured by the performance of other attorneys in his
area of practice. If this standard isn’t met, the attorney in
question has committed professional negligence or legal
malpractice. A legal malpractice attorney can help you
determine if you’ve received the appropriate standard of care.
This requirement increases if the attorney has represented
himself as an expert in a particular area of law. Our legal
malpractice lawyers are anxious to provide you with a free
consultation, either in person or over the phone, should you
feel you’re the victim of legal malpractice.
Don’t feel satisfied
with the legal advice you received? The legal malpractice
lawyers at Schablik & Knapp, P.A. can help.
Legal Malpractice Has a Variety of Faces. Our Legal
Malpractice Lawyers Can Help.
 Legal
malpractice can occur when an attorney renders poor advice or
fails to give advice in circumstances where it’s warranted.
There’s no contractual or retainer relationship necessary for
an act of legal malpractice to transpire - all that’s required
is a circumstance where it would be reasonable to believe the
person receiving the advice would rely on it. A legal
malpractice lawyer can help you to determine the parameters of
your unique situation.
For example, if an attorney is retained in a tax matter and
fails to advise the client that a request for refund must be
filed by a certain date, that attorney may have committed
legal malpractice. If he’s a general practitioner with no
particular expertise in tax matters, legal malpractice may
have been committed in failing to refer the client to an
expert in that area. If you’ve suffered money damages from a
situation like this, you should consult a legal malpractice
attorney. And if you’re not sure whether your situation
involves legal malpractice, one of our legal malpractice
lawyers can tell you.
An attorney can commit malpractice by explicit action or
inaction. To further clarify, if an attorney selects an expert
for the client who is unqualified and whose testimony is
stricken by the court, this could constitute legal malpractice
by the attorney’s explicit action. If the attorney fails to
tell the client an expert witness is required, thus leading to
dismissal, this may constitute legal malpractice by inaction.
The same is true if the attorney fails to take action within
the allowed period for instituting litigation as this can
result in loss of the client’s right to file a legal claim. A
legal malpractice lawyer can help you sort out the specifics
of your unique situation.
If you’ve been a victim
of such events, don’t delay any longer – call our legal
malpractice attorneys for help.
