Legal malpractice is a practice area focused on cases where an attorney is alleged to have failed in their duty to competently represent a client, resulting in harm. This area of law involves proving that the attorney breached their professional duty through negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, or other misconduct, and that this breach directly caused the client to suffer a financial loss or unfavorable legal outcome.

Common claims include missed deadlines, conflicts of interest, failure to know or apply the law, and inadequate communication. Legal malpractice cases often require expert testimony to establish the standard of care and demonstrate how it was violated.
