Legal malpractice attorneys focus their practices in the area of law dealing with attorneys and other professionals' acts below the standard of care.
Legal malpractice attorneys deal with many forms of legal and professional malpractice including, but not limited to:
- Negligence
- Breach of Contract
- Missing the Statute of Limitations
- Incorrect Title Searches in Real Estate Transactions
- Breach of Fiduciary Duty
- Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) and Consumer Protection Statutes
- Conflict of Interest
- Substandard Performance causing Economic Harm
- Charging Excessive Fees
For legal malpractice attorneys and or professional malpractice attorneys cases, a plaintiff must generally prove:
- The existence of an attorney-client or professional-client relationship.
- Acts constituting negligence or breach of contract.
- That such acts caused the plaintiff's damages.
- Without the legal malpractice/professional malpractice, the plaintiff would have been successful in the underlying action.
A legal or professional negligence lawsuit usually becomes a “case within a case.” The first consideration is whether the original legal malpractice attorney or professional was negligent. The second issue is whether the first case or action would have been successful.
