Transactional Errors Can Amount to Legal Malpractice in New Jersey

At Team Law, we know that the legal industry is no stranger to jokes about legal ethics—or lack thereof.  In reality, many transactional errors made by lawyers are not intentional, but instead result from negligence.  Actionable transaction errors may result from the lawyer’s:

• Lack of experience,
• Failure to pay attention to details,
• Failure to consult with more experience lawyers, or failure to supervise newer lawyers,
• Accepting more clients than the lawyer can reasonably handle (overworking).

Of course, in some cases the lawyer’s outright misconduct can lead to a transactional error that can harm the client.  Even if the lawyer acted unintentionally, the careless conduct may still constitute legal malpractice. Your lawyer’s duty to provide competent representation also means that your lawyer has a duty to avoid making errors that could jeopardize the successful resolution of your case.

Transactional errors that can amount to legal malpractice under New Jersey law include:

• Missing a filing deadline or other court-imposed deadline,
• Failing to file your claim before the applicable statute of limitations has run out,
• Filing the wrong paperwork for the wrong client with the court,
• Errors in real estate transactions or other business transactions,
• Mistakes in drafting a will, trust, contract or other legal document,
• Signing a legal document or taking other action without your informed consent,
• Filing an incomplete or incorrect document,
• Mix-ups with the insurance company ultimately responsible for providing compensation,
• Errors in the lawyer’s billing process or paperwork,
• Errors in the lawyer’s use of trust account funds (attorneys who receive retainer agreements generally place those funds in a trust account).

Your lawyer’s transactional errors can cost you significant amounts of money.  In some cases, making a claim against that lawyer for legal malpractice can allow you to recover money you have lost as a result of the error.  Taking action can also subject the lawyer to discipline by the New Jersey ethics committee.
