Legal Question in Legal Malpractice in Missouri

When people ask if something is illegal, they often mean " does it violate a criminal statute or ordinance?" When they ask if its unlawful, they want to know if they can sue for it. To do an unauthorized medical procedure can be the crime of assault. The victim ( or their guardian) might also be able to sue in civil court. These determinations are very fact dependent. If you think there might have been an assault committed, you should consult directly with legal counsel in your area. Many attorneys offer a free or low cost initial consultation. Go see one, and gives them all three factual details that you don't have space to provide here.

Good luck
