Professional Liability and Accounting Malpractice

Lawyers and accountants owe their clients a fiduciary duty and are required to represent their client’s best interest. When the lawyer or account puts their interests before the client’s interests, or act in a negligent or unethical manner, the client can seek recovery for any damages they have suffered.

Legal malpractice can encompass a combination of many types of negligent and/or unethical behaviors, including:

• Failure to properly investigate a claim or perform discovery during litigation;
• Improper settlement payments;
• Inaccurate trust accounting;
• Failing to respond to motions or appear at court proceedings;
• Undisclosed conflicts of interest;
• Letting the statute of limitation pass without taking action;
• Failure to properly investigate and perform discovery during litigation;
• Errors during trial;
• Improper documents; and
• Improper title search for real estate transactions.
