As in
all professional defense matters, we are committed to
providing the highest quality representation to clients
who are sued for legal malpractice. We are noted for the
quality of our communications with our clients and we
insist on keeping our clients informed about the status
and working closely with them in the defense of their cases. We have defended legal malpractice
claims through trial, and have tried legal malpractice
claims to defendant's verdicts. Particularly in legal
malpractice matters, where the defendant attorney may be
at a singular disadvantage in a lay jury's eyes, we are
aggressive in seeking opportunity to dispose of the
litigation by defense motion or other means. We
evaluate settlement options and realistically provide
candid advice. Cases that should be settled are
identified early before positions harden and costs
escalate. We have effectively used alternative dispute
resolution to resolve cases on behalf of our lawyer clients.
We engage in all of the
traditional areas of legal practice such as contracts,
corporate and banking, real estate development and
finance, labor and employment, taxation, and personal
and commercial litigation, and draw
immediately upon these resources. These resources allow us to prepare a strong defense
quickly and efficiently, and permit the early
identification of problem areas.
We
have handled cases involving virtually every
practice area, including alleged errors in connection
with securities, transactional work, tax advice, family
law, trusts and estates, and litigation. We have handled attorney malpractice claims involving
allegations of RICO violations, conspiracies between
attorneys and their clients, breach of fiduciary duty,
and fraud.

following legal issues for our clients:
-
Appeals
-
Business dealings with a client
