Essex County Legal Malpractice Attorneys Provide Dedicated Legal Assistance to Those Harmed by Another Lawyer’s Negligence

When you hire an attorney to help you with a legal matter, you trust that they will act in accordance with ethical and professional standards and provide you with the best possible representation that they can provide. Of course, it is not possible to guarantee an outcome in any legal matter. However, a lawyer should use their full experience, education, and skill in every case they handle. When an attorney fails in his or her duty to provide the best possible representation and instead handles your case or matter in a negligent manner, then you may have a claim for legal malpractice against your attorney. Claims of legal malpractice are always difficult to pursue because they are a complex combination of the lawyer’s actions and what happened in your underlying case or legal matter that the attorney handled. As a result, it is critical that you hire Edison legal malpractice lawyers with the experience and resources needed to handle these complicated cases.

Rules of Professional Conduct in New Jersey Require Attorneys Provide Competent Legal Representation

The rules of professional conduct in New Jersey require every attorney to provide “competent representation” in each case or legal matter. Competent representation means that an attorney has the knowledge and skill needed to handle the client’s case. Although this does not mean that a lawyer has to be an expert in every case he or she handles, it does mean that he or she has sufficient experience and skill necessary to acquire the knowledge needed to provide competent representation.

Examples when a lawyer’s conduct falls below the standard of “competent representation” includes:

Failing to file a lawsuit before the expiration of the statute of limitations
Failing to adequately prepare for court hearings or trial
Failing to timely or adequately respond to client communications
Charging for time or services that were not provided
Using funds that belong to the client
Improperly sharing information subject to attorney-client privilege
Failing to obtain required client consent to certain actions
Failing to disclose conflicts of interest to a client or failing to withdraw from a matter when there is a conflict of interest

Frequently Asked Questions about Edison, NJ Legal Malpractice

What should I do if I think my lawyer has committed legal malpractice?

If you are dissatisfied with your lawyer’s performance, you should begin by speaking to your attorney about your concerns. If your attorney still does not address your concerns, or you have lost confidence in your attorney, or you believe that your attorney has irreparably harmed your case, you should speak to our legal malpractice lawyers. We can help you evaluate your options for holding your attorney accountable for any malpractice, whether that is through filing a complaint with the state bar, going to fee arbitration, or filing a lawsuit for damages.

If I didn’t get the outcome I wanted in my case, do I have a claim for legal malpractice?

Not necessarily. An attorney cannot guarantee the outcome of any case. It is possible for a lawyer to make no mistakes and for you to still have an unfavorable outcome in your matter. In order for you to have a legal malpractice claim, it will be necessary for you to show that your attorney’s performance fell below the accepted standard of care, and that your attorney’s deficient performance was responsible for changing the outcome of your case for the worse and that you suffered some sort of compensable harm as a result.

Team Law is outstanding. Everyone is courteous and knowledgeable and I felt that I got the personal attention that I needed.
