Legal Question in Legal Malpractice in California

It seems like you are only dealing with a fee dispute as opposed to legal malpractice. If you have a fee dispute with your attorney, the local bar association has a fee dispute arbitration procedure that you can follow. You should immediately notify your attorney you are disputing his fees and request fee arbitration.

Please allow me to introduce myself. I am a appellate law specialist with substantial experience in family law appeals. That means, in part, that I frequently deal with family law attorneys who have bungled the case and/or overcharged their clients. I also volunteer as a Fee Dispute arbitrator, and so I have experience in fee dispute arbitrations and I am very familiar with billing practices and the legal standards for ethical and proper billing.

I may be willing to represent you in the fee dispute arbitration on a contingency fee basis (i.e., I would receive as my fee a percentage of the money that you win back from the law firm).

You can call my office at 800-988-4807 if you would like to schedule a free consultation. My legal assistant will first need from you basic information, including the name of the law firm and the attorney(s) there who represented you, and your divorce case name and number.

I look forward to hearing from you.
