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.
