Helping clients recover losses from professional negligence
The Schwartz Law Firm represents clients harmed by lawyers, accountants, insurance professionals, real estate agents, brokers, financial advisors, and other trusted professionals. Attorney Matthew Schwartz brings courtroom, regulatory, and dispute-resolution experience to every case review.
When your lawyer's — or another professional's — mistake costs you money
Professional malpractice is a core part of our practice. We represent plaintiffs — not defense firms — when lawyers, accountants, insurance professionals, real estate agents, and other trusted professionals breach their duty and cause financial harm, lost settlements, or forfeited rights.
- Missed statutes of limitations or filing deadlines
- Failure to advise on settlement offers or case strategy
- Conflicts of interest and inadequate representation
- Settlement without informed client consent
- Accounting errors, negligent advice, and related professional liability

How we help clients recover losses
Seven practice areas spanning investment and securities claims, professional malpractice, and insurance, property, and consumer claims — each with the same attention and depth.
All practice areas
Legal Malpractice
When attorneys miss deadlines, fail to advise, settle without consent, or otherwise breach their duty — plaintiff-side claims in state and federal court.
Investment Fraud Claims
Broker or advisor misconduct: unsuitable recommendations, churning, unauthorized trading, misrepresentation, and failure to supervise — often through FINRA arbitration.
Residential Real Estate Fraud
Residential nondisclosure under Johnson v. Davis when sellers or agents stay silent about material property defects.
Property Damage Claims
Carrier denials and underpayments on water, wind, fire, or hurricane damage — and disputes involving insurance agents who leave coverage gaps.
Hurricane Claims
Denied or underpaid storm claims after a hurricane. We document the loss and pursue the full benefits your policy promises.
Consumer Claims
FCRA / credit-report errors that block loans, housing, or employment — and related consumer harms that cause measurable financial loss.
Financial Advisor Second Opinions
Second opinions and claims when advisory relationships, fee structures, or product recommendations cause preventable investment losses.
