Connecticut attorneys are licensed and sworn to provide fair and honest legal services. They have a fiduciary duty to represent their client’s best interests. When lawyers in Connecticut breach their fiduciary duties, they may be liable for legal malpractice. When Connecticut lawyers commit legal malpractice, we can help.
In Connecticut, legal malpractice encompasses many types of negligent and unethical behaviors by lawyers. Legal malpractice can rise when an attorney:
-Lets a statute of limitation or deadline pass
-Puts his or her interests before the client’s
-Has a conflict of interest
-Fails to properly investigate and perform discovery
-Makes errors during the course of trial
-Improperly settles a case without a client’s authorization
-Improperly drafts important legal documents
-Negligently conducts property title searches
These attorney errors can have serious financial, legal and emotional consequences to clients. These errors are often a result of lawyers being overworked or understaffed – but that is no excuse. When lawyers screw up like this, they may be liable for Connecticut legal malpractice, and we can help.
