About Legal Malpractice

Legal malpractice is essentially when an attorney fails to act according to reasonable professional standards. If your previous attorney failed to act according to the applicable "standard of care," you may be able to file a legal malpractice claim.

The most common source of lawyer malpractice claims is the unforgivable error of missing filing deadlines. Mr. Miller, whose primary focus is personal injury and medical malpractice, has handled many cases in which the plaintiff's lawyer failed to file a claim before the statute of limitations expired, forever barring recovery of damages. An inexperienced lawyer may have also neglected to file claims for additional compensation that would have been obvious to a qualified attorney, or provided improper legal advice that resulted in a judgment against you.

To prevail in your legal malpractice action, Mr. Miller must show that your previous counsel's actions or advice were not reasonable and prudent under the accepted standard of care for the profession. We must show (a) that you suffered economic harm and (b) that you would have prevailed in your initial legal matter except for the attorney's error. Damages include the economic gain you would have won in your court case plus our attorney's fees to bring the malpractice claim.
