There is something everyone should know before retaining a lawyer in California. You have the right under the law to ensure that the attorney you are considering hiring has current professional malpractice insurance coverage. This protects you against serious errors, lawyer negligence, ethical violations and any other form of legal malpractice.
At the Pasadena law firm of Ball & Roberts, we help our clients pursue compensation for the losses they have incurred as a result of lawyer negligence. Our experienced legal malpractice attorneys offer sound legal advice and experienced representation to clients who have suffered due to a serious error, mistake, overcharge, breach of contract or professional misconduct on the part of other lawyers in all types of civil litigation.
One common type of legal malpractice is violating the California courts' strict statutes of limitations. If you were unable to prevail in a civil claim because your attorney failed to keep track of legal deadlines for filing in your case, you may have a strong claim in a professional malpractice lawsuit.
We recognize that any lawyer, doctor, pharmacist or other professional may make a mistake from time to time. When those mistakes are serious and unreasonable, however, you may need the help of an experienced and effective professional malpractice attorney to help you seek fair compensation for the damages you have suffered.
If you have suffered personal injury or serious losses because a professional you trusted and relied upon failed to act competently on your behalf or fulfill his or her professional or legal responsibilities, contact our offices today to schedule a free consultation. Ball & Roberts also handles instances of negligent estate planning, negligent administration of trusts and negligent drafting of buy-sell agreements or other contracts resulting in significant personal loss.
