Connecticut Legal Malpractice Actions Carry A Three Year Statute Of Limitations

Most Connecticut legal malpractice occurs through administrative errors (i.e., failure to calendar, clerical errors, procrastination); Substantive errors (i.e., failure to know the law, conflict of interest); client relations (i.e., not following client instructions, improper withdrawal); or intentional wrongs doing such as libel, civil rights, fraud, theft, malicious prosecution.

In Connecticut, the general rule is that legal malpractice cases must be brought within three years from the time of the act of malpractice. BUT there are many ways to extend that time. So call us and we can help you understand if you have a claim. If we decide to take on your matter we can help you understand when it has to be filed by. If you don't file it within the time allowed you may loose any and all of your rights - so don't delay. If your attorney has screwed up your case and cost you money - we can help.
