Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in California

Re: Erroneous legal advice

You can sue the attorney for malpractice if his advice "failed to meet the standard of care" for lawyers who handle employement law.

If the amount of damages the attorney caused you is less than $5,000, you may sue him in small claims court, where no lawyers are needed. If greater than $5,000, you can sue him in superior court.
