Your lawyer has a duty to follow strict standards of professional and ethical conduct. If they do not meet those standards, they open themselves up for a legal malpractice lawsuit. In many ways, legal malpractice is similar to medical malpractice. It occurs when a lawyer fails to perform their job the way they are supposed to, hurting the client. If you want to pursue a legal malpractice suit, you must show that your attorney behaved in a way that was negligent, unprofessional, with intent to harm, or in breach of contract. This is not always an easy task, as you must also prove that you would have prevailed in your case if the attorney had behaved appropriately. As a legal office with experience in pursuing legal malpractice cases, Johnny F. Driggers Law Firm is here to help.
If you would like to sue a lawyer for legal malpractice, our office can help. We will help to gather evidence to show that your attorney was negligent, then advocate to protect your interests and pursue the outcome you deserve.
Not every mistake that a lawyer makes can be considered legal malpractice. To win a legal malpractice lawsuit, you will need to prove your attorney-client relationship, show a breach of the duty to provide adequate legal assistance, causation, and a financial loss. In most cases, an attorney will choose a strategy in good faith based on what makes sense at the time. In other instances, a financial loss would have occurred regardless of the actions your attorney took. These examples don’t point to legal malpractice; that is where our team steps in. Our firm can help you determine whether your attorney’s actions can be considered negligent or otherwise fraudulent.
We can also help you pursue justice. Don’t take on the challenge of proving legal malpractice on your own; reach out to Johnny F. Driggers Law Firm for assistance anywhere in the greater Charleston, SC area!
