No attorney or law firm is immune from a malpractice claim. The number of professional liability claims and grievances has dramatically increased in the past decades as the courts continue to expand the theories of liability under which an attorney may be found responsible to others.
As a result, the likelihood exists that today, more than ever, an attorney will have the need for legal representation. If that occurs, you want a law firm on your side that understands your practice, excels in the field of attorney professional liability and comprehends the importance of maintaining your reputation.
