Professional Malpractice

Cleveland Legal Malpractice Lawyer

Legal malpractice is a breach in the standard of conduct set forth by rules of a state bar or legal governing body. Those of us who are proud of being lawyers have a duty to act with honesty and integrity, and in fairness and good faith in all dealings with our clients.

Legal malpractice arises from a lawyer's misconduct or failure to use adequate levels of care, skill, or diligence in the performance of duties to his clients and when that misconduct or failure causes harm to his clients.

Your Case, Our Image

When your rights and interests have been betrayed by unprofessional attitudes or execution on the part of your legal representative--omissions amounting to a breach of fiduciary responsibility--contact Aggers Joseph Co., LPA in Cleveland as your professional malpractice attorneys. Since the fate of your case and the image of our profession are both important to us, we will do whatever we can to reverse the damage done on both fronts.

How Can Legal Malpractice Happen?

For those of us who take these hits to our chosen professional personally, sometimes it seems there are almost as many possible causes of our legal variety of professional malpractice as there are attorneys to commit them. But a short list of worst-case scenarios would consist of:

• A conflict of interest
• Settlement of your case without your full authority
• Settlement of your claim for far less than the actual worth to receive quick contingency fees
• Failure to file your claim within the statute of limitations (time legally allowed for filing a claim)
• Failure to file necessary documents or refusal to acknowledge court orders

In order to prevail in your malpractice action and successfully recover a just and fair amount of damages, you would have to prove that malpractice occurred and that, except for the malpractice, you would have won a favorable judgment.

Choose Experience, Knowledge, and Poise

Any attorney you retain in order to file a legal malpractice claim must also be able to successfully argue the underlying, or original, case and must prove that you would have won. Do not trust these kinds of specialized tasks to just anyone with a diploma and a smooth line. Opt for the experience, knowledge, and poise of our malpractice lawyers. Our reputation is beyond reproach and our rates the most reasonable around.
