New Brunswick Legal Malpractice Lawyers Dedicated to Getting Results for Clients Victimized by Negligent Attorneys

Legal malpractice cases are often considered to be two cases in one. Oftentimes, proving the “case within the case” is key to proving a legal malpractice claim. At Team Law, not only do we work tirelessly to show that your attorney’s conduct fell below the applicable standards of care, but we also vigorously advocate on your behalf to prove that you would have had a different, more favorable outcome in the underlying case or legal matter handled by your attorney had he or she not provided negligent representation to you. Our attorney negligence lawyers in New Brunswick, NJ here at Team Law are also skilled at demonstrating that you suffered harm as a result of your previous lawyer’s malpractice — it would not be possible for you to establish a legal malpractice claim if, even though your attorney was negligent, you would have lost your case anyway.

Frequently Asked Questions about New Brunswick Legal Malpractice

When should I file my legal malpractice claim?

Under New Jersey law, you have a limited period of time in which to file a legal malpractice claim for monetary damages. This period of time is known as the statute of limitations. In New Jersey, the statute of limitations for legal malpractice claims is six years, measured from the date of the malpractice, or from the date that the client discovered or should have reasonably discovered his or her attorney’s malpractice. If you fail to file your lawsuit before the expiration of the statute of limitations in your case, the court can permanently dismiss your lawsuit.

Can I have a legal malpractice claim if I never signed a retainer agreement with the attorney?

Possibly. One of the elements of a legal malpractice claim is that there must be an attorney-client relationship. Without such a relationship, the attorney owes no duties to the client that can be breached by the attorney’s negligent conduct. For example, an attorney cannot be held responsible for failing to file a lawsuit on behalf of the client if the client never formally retains the attorney to represent him or her. There are some exceptions to this, such as if the attorney agrees to gratuitously represent a client, or the attorney knows that the client believes he or she is represented by the attorney and fails to correct the client’s misconception.

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