Legal Malpractice - Legal Malpractice is a very serious matter. Legal malpractice is a wrong done by an attorney that causes financial harm to a client. The wrong may be unintentional or negligent, or it may be some intentional act done by a dishonest lawyer. Common types of legal malpractice include

• Missing a deadline
• Failure to keep a client informed of the progress of the client’s case
• Unreasonable delay in doing legal work
• Inadequate preparation, including failure to appear at a deposition or trial
• Not knowing the law
• Conflict of interest
• Theft or embezzlement, including misappropriation of client funds

Legal Malpractice claims have their own special difficulties. If your attorney, or former attorney, has legal malpractice insurance, he or she will be represented by knowledgeable attorneys. These attorneys will be paid by the malpractice insurer to scrutinize your claim with the utmost care, to find any way possible to avoid paying you for your losses. In addition, a malpractice case often involves presenting a "case within a case": in order to recover, you will have to prove that your original legal matter would have had a different result, if your attorney had used the ordinary level of care required.

At Laub & Delaney, LLP, we approach Legal Malpractice cases with the same skill and professionalism that we bring to every other type of case we handle. Although we have excellent relationships with other members of the bar, we do not let “professional courtesy” get in the way of maximizing the recovery in a Legal Malpractice case.
