Experts are predicting that the current economic downturn will lead to a nationwide increase in the number of legal malpractice suits. This includes legal malpractice by Connecticut attorneys. The main theory is that lawyers who are feeling the bite of the economic recession will begin to take on work outside their normal core practice areas. Areas, that in the past, they typically would have referred to a lawyer with more specialized knowledge in that area of law.
Unfortunately, when lawyers take on cases that are outside of their normal skill set, the chances that they will miss a deadline or screw up something else skyrockets. The result is that clients get harmed, but we can help. The message that needs to be taken from this is that now, more than ever, it’s important for clients and attorneys to make sure that cases are handled by lawyers that are knowledgeable in the particular area of law involved in the case.
