SANTA BARBARA LEGAL MALPRACTICE LAWYER
California Legal Malpractice Attorney
Lawyers have a duty to act with honesty and integrity, in fairness and good faith in all dealings with, or on behalf of, their clients. Legal malpractice may arise from your lawyer's misconduct or failure to use adequate levels of care, skill or diligence in the performance of their duties that causes harm to another.
Some possible causes for legal malpractice may include:
- Jeopardizing the outcome of your case by failing to act competently.
- Settlement of your claim for far less than the actual worth to receive quick contingency fees.
- Settlement of your case without your full authority.
- A conflict of interest.
- Failure to file your claim within the statute of limitations (the time legally allowed for filing a claim).
- Failure to inform of any major expenses not included in your fee agreement.
- Failure to provide a valid fee agreement.
Failure to file necessary documents or refusal to acknowledge court orders.
