Legal Question in Legal Malpractice in California

Re: he said he was an expert in this field of law, I now have a $200K judgement

Yes, you have potential recourse. Depending on what the attorney did wrong you may bring an action for professional negligence.

I would be happy to discuss this matter with you. You can contact me to set up an appointment or chat directly with me from my web-site www.legalwarriors.com.

IF you can show the outcome would have been different if he had done differently, yes, you can bring an action for malpractice. You can also complain to the State Bar. If interested in discussing the actual facts and options, contact me. With that amount of damages in your claim, it is worth pursuing.

In and of itself, not showing up for hearings might not constitute malpractice. You would have to show that you would have prevailed had the attorney done things right. You must be peeved at the judgment, especially since the attorney didn't pay attention, it seems. Please give me a call if I can help. (310) 858-9771.

If the attorney was negligent, you have a claim against him. Just because you got a bad result, it does not mean he was negligent. You would also have to prove in a legal malpractice claim that if the case had been handled properly, a different result would have occurred.

Our firm handles legal malpractice cases. If you would like a free consultation to discuss the possibilities of a malpractice case, please contact us. You have a statute of limitations of 1 year from the date you discovered the malpractice, or should have discovered the malpractice, but not later than 3 years from the date it was committed, to file suit. The statute is tolled while the attorney is still representing you.
