Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Connecticut

Re: Incompetence or Misconduct

At what point does a client question the competency of his council? --- When he/she starts to drool and pick their nose in court.

At what point does a client consider malpractice or misconduct procedures against his attorney? --- Malpractice... when you know he/she screwed up and you KNOW you would have prevailed but for the screw up AND you KNOW you could have collected. Misconduct? When you know they committed a MATERIAL violation of the rules of attorney ethics.

Re: Incompetence or Misconduct

If you have attempted (unsuccessfully) to work out the problem with the attorney you might contact the State Bar regarding an ethic's complaint. With respect to bringing a legal malpractice claim, I suggest that you consult with an attorney that practices in that area, to more fully consider whether your attorney's conduct rises to the level of malpractice.
