Suing Your Lawyer

There are cases when people are involved in legal malpractices. In this case, it is your duty to punish such people. Unfortunately, your lawyer can be such person too. Here are some tips that will help you to effectively sue your lawyer:

• You have to keep flawless records of your case, contract with him, all your meetings with him, phone calls, etc.

• Give strong evidence to prove beyond doubt the amount spent as legal fees and other related costs.

• Breach of duty and carelessness should be proven.

• Moreover, a proof that shows that the lawyer's lack of interest and distortion caused you serious financial loss should be kept ready.

• Assure that you have the necessary documentation to show how the case proceeded and where the lawyer slipped.

• Maintain a record of unreturned calls, cancelled meetings, and non-appearance at hearings.

• Try to prove that your case held no commitment or interest for the lawyer.

• If your lawyer did not personally take care of the case and had handed it over to an assistant or junior, then prove the same in court to sue him.

• Suing a lawyer is quite expensive, so, it is always better to take a second opinion from a lawyer who is unfamiliar to your lawyer and unrelated to the case that you are fighting.

Before taking a final decision, you have to weigh all the pros and cons.
