What is Legal Malpractice?

This occurs when an attorney breaches their legal duty. All legal malpractice cases generally involve four elements: duty, breach, causation, and damages. In all interactions with their clients, a lawyer must act with honesty, good faith, fairness, integrity, and dependability. They must also possess the legal skills and knowledge commonly held by other professionals in their field. A lawyer should avoid any improper actions or even the appearance of impropriety.
