Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

If you believe your attorney committed malpractice, you should make an appointment with a malpractice attorney as soon as possible to discuss the facts of your case. Most attorneys will offer you a free consultation.

Ideally, what you need is a malpractice attorney that will accept your case on a contingency basis. There may be a few out there. I have done a few malpractice cases, but never on contingency. I would think a typical malpractice attorney would want to review the case very thoroughly before even discussing a contingent fee, which would probably be a fairly significant percentage of any recovery.

Winning a malpractice case in court generally requires showing that, but for the malpractice, the client would have achieved a better result in the underlying matter.

If you want a preliminary evaluation of your chances for success, please feel free to contact me directly, with particulars; no charge, no obligation. By the way, I have other clients or business obligations that take me to Chico, Weed and Yreka on occasion, so I am not a stranger to your part of the state.
