Attorney Malpractice: A High Threshold

The lawyers at Mills & Cahill, LLC, will evaluate your claim of legal malpractice/professional malpractice and give an honest assessment of whether you have an actionable claim.

While the legal community has high standards for professional conduct and ethical behavior, the courts also set a high standard for proving professional malpractice. Bringing and/or filing a claim requires experienced, principled attorneys such as Mr. Mills and Ms. Cahill, who are willing to hold peers accountable for poor representation.

Legal malpractice or professional malpractice having to do with legal counsel may include one or more of the following:

• Failure to meet a statute of limitations or court filing deadline
• Failure to meet the court’s deadlines for filings
• Failure to disclose evidence or failure to comply with discovery motions
• Misappropriation of client funds
• Misrepresentations to clients
• Insufficient effort on behalf of the client

A claim of legal malpractice must prove that there was financial harm and that the client would likely have prevailed in his or her legal matter with competent counsel.
