Florida Legal Malpractice Attorney
Have you been the victim of legal malpractice? If your lawyer's performance was so poor as to fall below accepted standards -- in litigation or the preparation of a contract, will, or estate plan -- you may have recourse in the form of a lawsuit against him or her. You may have lost a chance to recoup thousands of dollars, because of your prior lawyer's mistake. But you still may have options. At the Lake Worth law office of Richard H. Willits, we sue lawyers.

What constitutes legal malpractice varies greatly depending upon the area of law. We are not experts in every field of law, but we will contact an experienced attorney within the field that relates to your case. We will learn everything we can about the specific factors and best practices of that specific area, so we can understand all of the ways in which your former lawyer's malpractice negatively impacted your case.
Recognizing Legal Malpractice
Lawyers make mistakes every day. Not every mistake is grounds for a legal malpractice lawsuit. It takes experience, training, and a thorough understanding of the legal system to evaluate whether you have a case against your former lawyer. Just because the outcome was not to your satisfaction, this alone does not provide grounds for a lawsuit alleging legal malpractice. Your attorney may have failed to show up for your hearing, but that does not prove professional negligence in and of itself. The actions of your former lawyer have to have completely killed any chance of your case being successful, in order for it to be considered legal malpractice.
