Legal Malpractice
Attorneys are required to use due diligence and exercise reasonable care in every client's legal matter. When an attorney fails to do this, and that failure results in harm to the client, it may be the basis for a legal malpractice claim against that lawyer.
Our lawyers have a deep appreciation of the standards that govern the legal profession, and we believe that the trust clients give should never be compromised by negligent or wrongful acts. With more than 30 years of experience representing cases in this area, The Veen Firm’s attorneys have the knowledge and specialized skills to effectively handle these issues and recover just compensation.
A legal malpractice claim can arise from a number of situations, including:
- Failing to inform a client of all of her legal rights or other potential legal remedies
- Failing to file a client's lawsuit before the statute of limitations has expired
- Establishing an improper fee structure or billing practice
- Failing to properly advise a client of a conflict of interest
- Inadequate research or investigation that harms a client's case.
