Reasons That Lawyers Get Sued
There are several reasons why lawyers get sued by their clients, including:
- Failure to meet deadlines
- Inaccurate legal and tax advice
- Confusion regarding client identity
- Failure to regularly and honestly communicate with clients
- Failure to understand or appreciate the area of law being practiced
- Failure to adequately investigate the case
- Drafting and transactional errors
- Failure to utilize available witnesses and evidence
- Failure to properly structure settlement agreements
- Breaches of fiduciary duty
- Fee disputes
Even the best lawyers lose cases on occasion and a poor outcome is not, by itself, a reason to sue an attorney for legal malpractice. However, if the poor outcome is the result of violations of established standards of professionalism on the part of the attorney, you may have a claim.
