Overby Law Office, P.C. Fighting to Hold Lawyers Accountable for Mistakes involving: Legal Malpractice Many lawyers and law firms shy away from taking legal malpractice cases because it involves pointing a finger at another member of the legal profession. While an unsatisfactory result in a case does not automatically mean that legal malpractice was committed, at Overby Law Office, P.C., we believe that lawyers, just like other professionals and corporations, should provide services at a reasonable professional standard. We aggressively pursue cases against attorneys or law firms who have committed legal malpractice to the substantial detriment of their clients. Lawyers are human beings and can make mistakes. Some are unintentional, some not. Often a lawyer's personal life can take a turn for the worst, which leads to professional errors in judgment or performance. Regardless of the cause, clients should not have to suffer because of a lawyer's mistake or incompetence. Most attorneys and law firms have legal malpractice insurance. Often, the pursuit of legal malpractice cases involves negotiation and litigation against insurance company lawyers. C. Frederick Overby has more than 21 years of litigation experience to call on in standing up to insurance companies and their lawyers. He has a proven track record of outstanding results. That Hurt People in the Pocket Book. . . Legal malpractice occurs when a lawyer or attorney fails to do something that should have been done, or does something that should not have been done, that significantly harms his or her client's economic interests. Some ways a lawyer might commit legal malpractice are obvious, such as allowing a case to be dismissed by missing a filing deadline, or stealing money from a client. Other types of legal malpractice are more subtle and may require the retention of expert witnesses to prove a lawyer's negligence. Such cases might involve breaching a fiduciary duty, such as misusing a client's money or co-mingling funds with the attorney's account. Malpractice can also involve making misrepresentations to a client that actually harm the client's interests. If you feel that you have been significant harmed by legal malpractice. Contact us now.
