What can a legal malpractice attorney help me prove?

In professional liability litigation, the main challenge is to prove that you have suffered a loss due to the negligence or misconduct of a member of the given profession. Most established professionals carry malpractice or other liability insurance, which helps to assure that the losses of injured clients can be recovered.

In lawsuits involving many professions, however, it is not only necessary to prove negligence and resulting losses, you also might need to show how the error or omission on the part of the defendant professional represented a failure to comply with recognized standards of practice or ethical conduct.

Proof of liability and damages can differ a great deal from one profession to another. For example, in a legal malpractice case involving dismissal of a personal injury claim due to your lawyer’s failure to meet a filing deadline, the plaintiff will often need to prove his or her entire personal injury case in the malpractice lawsuit, with the insurance company stepping into the shoes of the defendant.


What types of legal malpractice cases do you work on?

The experience and skill with personal injury litigation that our law firm has developed over the last 30 years can help you salvage a case that your previous lawyer lost through neglect or incompetence. We also pursue claims for professional liability against such defendants as the following:

Insurance brokers, agents or public claims adjusters

Securities brokers or traders, usually in arbitration proceedings

Medical professionals and health care providers of all kinds

Pension administrators

Police officers, sheriff’s deputies and licensed private security guards

Nursing home administrators

Clergy, marriage counselors, psychologists, and other counselors

Breach of fiduciary duty claims against trustees, guardians, conservators, or others entrusted with the assets or personal welfare of another

Thank you Gonzalo Fernandez for continuing to fight for my case when no one would take it. I can never repay you for your kindness and my cousin William who brought me to you. Not only did you promise me to take my Mom’s case and promise me that you would stay with it till the end, but you are one of the few people who will keep their promise… fight through my jury trial and win… My Mom would be so proud! I am so lucky to have found someone that I can depend on. I can’t thank you enough for everything you have done for me.
