Legal Malpractice Attorney in Massachusetts
When an attorney’s conduct may have caused a client financial or legal harm, an independent review can help determine whether a legal malpractice claim may be appropriate. John A. Tatoian Law reviews concerns about prior legal representation and the circumstances surrounding an alleged error.
What Is Legal Malpractice?
A disappointing result alone does not establish malpractice. A potential claim generally requires proof of an attorney-client duty, a breach of the applicable standard of care, causation, and measurable damages. The specific requirements and deadlines depend on the facts and governing law.
Matters That May Warrant Review
- Missed filing deadlines or statutes of limitations
- Failure to investigate or preserve important evidence
- Conflicts of interest or other alleged breaches of duty
- Errors in litigation, negotiation, or transaction handling
- Financial losses allegedly caused by professional negligence
What to Bring to a Consultation
Helpful materials may include the engagement agreement, court filings, correspondence, billing records, relevant deadlines, and documents showing the claimed loss. An evaluation considers what happened, whether the outcome would likely have differed, and any time limits.
