Restoring Your Trust In The Legal Profession

What To Do If Your Lawyer Violates An Ethical Obligation To You

When you hire a lawyer to handle a transaction, provide advice or represent you in litigation, your lawyer is bound to a strict code of professional responsibility, obligated to follow specific rules that protect your interests. When your attorney violates those rules and you suffer financial loss, you want experienced legal malpractice counsel to help you recover full and fair compensation for your losses.

The firm understands that attorney-client relationships are built on trust and recognizes the breach of trust that comes with an ethical violation.
