Legal Question in Legal Malpractice in California

An attorney error

I got a DUI and hired an attorney. She was in the process of taking care of things and going to court on my behalf, so I thought. She missed a court date and now I have a warrant. What is my legal responsibility concerning this, what's hers, and what can I do about it?

Get your money back and hire a new attorney.

More than likely, your new attorney will correct things with the court and allow you to return at the earliest possible date and the court might be understanding.

She should be able to have the warrant removed without the fault be attributed to you. Give her a chance. Contact me directly if she fails or refuses.
