What is legal malpractice?
Legal Malpractice occurs when a lawyer acts in a neglectful manner while providing legal guidance or representation. Malpractice causes damages to clients that the hired lawyer is responsible for. To prove malpractice and the lawyer’s liability, you must prove that your lawyer was obligated to represent you proficiently and that in not doing so the lawyer caused you damages. All cases vary, but most legal malpractice suits fall under three categories:
Negligence
Negligence Occurs when your attorney’s organization of your case isn’t up to the skills and standards of any knowledgeable attorney. Most legal malpractice claims that end up in court are a result of lawyer negligence.
Breach of fiduciary duty
Breach of fiduciary duty usually occurs when your lawyer has a conflict of interest that harms you and your case in someway.
Breach of contract
Breach of contract cases are occasionally brought against lawyers who violate the terms of their specific agreement with their client.
A victim must file the lawsuit within the restricted time limits. If you have received damages due to inadequate legal representation in New Jersey, the attorneys at Levinson Axelrod can help protect your rights and assist you in receiving the maximum reimbursement.
