Legal malpractice is the failure of a lawyer to meet the applicable standard of care for lawyers. Malpractice is more than a mistake was made. A mistake by a lawyer may rise to the level of malpractice, but it’s safe to say not every mistake by any professional arises to the level of professional malpractice. If your lawyer or some other professional has made a mistake, talking to a legal malpractice lawyer can help you determine if that mistake gives rise to a legal malpractice case or not. Wise clients use resources available to them.
