Help Holding a Law Firm Accountable for Legal Malpractice in Pittsburgh, PA
Having quality legal representation is essential for achieving the most favorable resolution possible for any legal matter you’re involved in. Unfortunately, claimants harmed by legal malpractice took all the right steps to put themselves on the path to a beneficial outcome, but the attorney they trusted let them down.
Understanding Legal Malpractice
Legal malpractice is a form of professional malpractice that occurs due to the negligence of a lawyer or attorney. Legal practitioners are required to provide services to their clients that align with the accepted standard of care. If a lawyer breaches the duty they owe to the clients they have agreed to represent by engaging in conduct that deviates from what an attorney with similar training and ability would provide, they can be held liable for harm that results from malpractice.
Malpractice is more than an outcome that wasn’t what you had hoped. Even with the most competent and dedicated attorney, the facts of the case matter. A lawyer may handle a case with the utmost competence and professionalism, and the outcome may still end up being less beneficial than you had wished.
When malpractice occurs, it’s a lawyer’s negligent handling of the case, rather than factors involved in the case itself, that cause you to lose your claim or otherwise receive an unfavorable outcome.
Unless you have a legal background yourself, it’s very difficult to assess whether your attorney failed you or whether the facts of your case simply did not lend themselves to the resolution you anticipated. You don’t have to figure this out on your own to take legal action. With professional help, you can analyze any potential malpractice and file a complaint against an attorney in PA.
Common Types of Legal Malpractice Claims in Pennsylvania
Like the initial legal matter you sought help with, each legal malpractice claim is unique. With a long history of handling matters that involve a complaint against an attorney in PA, I understand the nuances that accompany different types of professional malpractice cases. Among the forms of professional negligence involved in the malpractice cases I often handle are the following:
- Conflict of interest
- Improper investigations
- Pressure to settle
- Insufficient preparation & missed deadlines
- Breach of fiduciary duty
- Ethics violations
Whether an attorney’s breach of professional duty resulted from incompetence, deliberate ethics violations, or an egregious error in judgment, the reality is that it never should have happened.
You deserved to have been represented by a legal practitioner you could trust. Now that your original lawyer broke your trust and caused you real losses by preventing your claim from reaching the successful resolution it could have had, the negligent professional deserves to face the consequences.
