Legal Malpractice Attorneys in Pasadena
Holding Negligent Lawyers Accountable
When you hire an attorney to represent you, he or she is expected to provide a certain level of service. Though results are never guaranteed in the field of law, attorneys are still held to certain standards. If your attorney has failed to meet those standards, you may have grounds for a legal malpractice claim.
Common claims of legal malpractice include:
- Failure to apply the law
- Planning error
- Conflict of interest
- Failure to know or meet deadlines
- Malicious prosecution
- Failure to obtain client consent
If you believe that the lawyer you hired has wronged you, seek representation from a skilled attorney who can hold them accountable. With 40 years of experience in the field, our team recognizes legal malpractice and can help you seek justice. We serve clients in Glendale, Arcadia, and the surrounding Los Angeles area.
