Gavin Law Legal Malpractice Claims Attorneys
You hire a lawyer to best represent your rights, but sometimes mistakes occur. If your lawyer delivers insufficient services or makes a mistake that causes you to suffer damages, that lawyer may be held liable.
Lawyer malpractice (legal malpractice) may fit within three categories:
Negligence
A lawyer fails to use that level of reasonable care required of a lawyer representing a client.
Breach of Fiduciary Duty
A lawyer acts in his or her own best interest rather than in the client’s best interest.
Breach of Contract
A lawyer fails to uphold some aspect of the representation contract with a client.
