An attorney has a duty to communicate with the client and keep the client informed of important developments in the case. If your attorney did not do this and it hurt the outcome of your case, you may have a claim for legal malpractice. To find out how our firm can help, contact us to schedule a consultation with an attorney.

Frequently Asked Questions about Legal Malpractice
Q: How do I know if what my lawyer did was legal malpractice?
A: The laws on legal malpractice typically demand that the lawyer's action (or inaction) was negligent and negatively affected the outcome of your case — for instance, causing you to lose a lawsuit that you otherwise would have won. This can be difficult to prove. Speaking with a different attorney may help you assess whether you have a strong case for legal malpractice.
Q: Why are filing deadlines so important?
A: The deadlines for filing papers with the court are important because there are time limits on when you can bring a lawsuit against someone who has violated your rights. For instance, a state may say that a person who has been injured because of another's negligence has only two years to file a personal injury lawsuit. After two years, the injured person no longer has that option. If you bring your case to a lawyer in a timely fashion but the lawyer fails to file the papers in time, you could lose your chance to take legal action.
