Arizona Legal Malpractice Lawyers
People hire attorneys to help them navigate legal matters with the expectation that counsel will act in a competent and ethical manner. A mistake by the lawyer that results in economic loss to the client may give rise to a legal malpractice claim.
Our law firm handles legal malpractice claims involving personal injury cases. In the context of personal injury cases, legal malpractice claims can arise when an attorney fails to file a lawsuit within the applicable statute of limitations, misses court-ordered deadlines, fails to retain qualified expert witnesses, lacks competence to handle the matter, abandons the client during the course of litigation, or mishandles medical liens, among other acts or omissions.
In order to prevail in a legal malpractice claim in Arizona, the client must do more than just prove that the attorney made a mistake that constituted legal malpractice. The client also must prove the likely outcome of the underlying case. This often is referred to as the "case within the case."
We understand the special complexities of law and medicine that apply to legal malpractice claims in the personal injury practice. We have the experience and resources to take on the largest law firms, the most powerful attorneys and the biggest insurance companies in the interest of getting justice and proper financial compensation for our clients who have been harmed as a result of legal malpractice.
