Legal Question in Legal Malpractice in California

Where Can I Find A Sample Complaint

I believe I have been the victim of legal malpractice. Since I can not afford another attorney, I have to represent myself pro se. Where can I locate a sample complaint form for this action? Thank you.

You can find a form for the complaint in West - California Practice Series - "Torts". Some attorneys would take your case on a contingency. If you advise me of some of the facts, I maybe able to help you further.

Attorneys will often take these cases on a percentage, no attorney fees up front basis, though you may be required to pay costs. If you do not find an attorney, you might want to question if it is a valid case.

Any law library will be able to assist you in finding a format to use.

This is just general information. No representations are made and no attorney client relationship is established by this communication. In most matters there are strict time limitations within which actions may be taken or your rights will be compromised. We are not taking any action on your matter and will not be considered your attorney or tax representative until both you and we have signed a fee agreement.

We, therefore will take no action on your behalf unless a written retainer agreement is signed. There are strict deadlines, called statutes of limitation, within which claims or lawsuits must be filed. Therefore, if you do not retain SELIKLAW, you should immediately seek the services of another attorney or other advisor.

If you think you can successfully sue and fight an experienced attorney in court, without knowing even what to file as a complaint, or any of the procedures and processes, you are fooling yourself. Besides, if you actually have a provable case, attorneys like myself will usually take them on a straight or modified contingency. Contact me if interested in discussing the facts and reality.
