Legal Malpractice on the Eve of Trial

When a case is presented at trial, the client often feels a sense of relief that their matter will finally be resolved. All the time and preparation that went into getting the ready case will be put to good use. However, just because a case has made its way to a trial, that does not mean that the lawyer trying it cannot still be held liable if they commit legal malpractice, even at this late stage in the process.

After the lawyer spends countless hours filing pleadings, answering and issuing discovery, the case still needs to be prepared appropriately for trial. If the lawyer misses an important trial deadline or fails to properly disclose crucial expert witnesses to testify at trial and the client’s case suffers as a result, the lawyer may be liable for legal malpractice. The experienced attorneys at Stanger & Arnold, LLP have provided skilled legal malpractice representation for clients throughout Connecticut.
