Legal Question in Legal Malpractice in California
Was legal malpractice committed
My attorney that represented me in my divorce case failed to do an asset search on my husband when he was failing to give full disclosure when it came to the community assets ( bank accounts, life policies, IRA's, insurance policies, business assets, home furnshings (art, furnisher,all home contents), cars. The total focus was put on debt when the community assets were worth well over a million dollars (total assets - debt) I ended up with only a fifty thousand dollar judgement.I lost the house, I lost the family busines that was 20 years established and making on average $390,000 a year. There was an inadequate discovery done,no research done, and to me seemed completely unprepared in court.Dismissed our expert witnesses too early when they were needed to be recalled to dispute other witnesses testimony that became damaging financially due to their testimony. Do I have a case?

Re: Was legal malpractice committed
Attorney malpractice cases are really two cases in one. You have to show the attorney's negligence and you also have to show that you would have had a better result but for that negligence.
You might have a good case if what you are saying can be shown. If your ex did have hidden assets or misrepresented items, etc., and the attorney didn't take proper steps to uncover everything, then you would have a good case.
If you would like to discuss this, please call or email. We do not charge for an intial consultation.
