LEGAL MALPRACTICE PROSECUTION
Legal malpractice can be broadly defined as gross negligence by an attorney that causes damages to be suffered by that attorney’s client. Instances of legal malpractice are serious matters that can compromise the integrity of your case and prevent you from getting the justice you deserve. If your attorney does not file your claim timely or fails to respond properly to court pleadings or does not adequately compile the evidence necessary to prove your case, you may have a claim against your attorney for your resulting damages.
