Accounting & Legal Malpractice Lawyers in AZ & IL

Phoenix and Chicago Malpractice Attorneys

Lawyers, accountants, dentists, architects, real estate brokers, engineers and other professionals are expected to meet certain standards of professional conduct and minimun care set by their industries.  In broad terms, a legal malpractice or professional negligence occurs when a professional fails to meet that acceptable standard of care set by the industry and which results in an economic injury to a client.  Simply, they have a duty to take care of their client or patient in a reasonable manner.

A lawyer has the duty, in all dealings and relations with a client, to act with honesty, good faith, fairness, integrity, and fidelity. A lawyer must possess the legal skill and knowledge that is ordinarily possessed by members of the profession.

Legal Malpractice Laws are designed to protect and clients' rights to pursue compensation, if they are injured physically or if you lose money as a result of the professional's mistake and negligence. Lawyers who give improper advice, improperly prepare documents, fail to file documents, or make a faulty analysis in examining the title to real estate may be charged with malpractice by their clients. A legal malpractice action, however, is not likely to succeed if the lawyer committed an error because an issue of law was unsettled or debatable.

Accounting Malpractice Laws are designed to protect and clients' rights to pursue compensation, when a CPA/accountant gives you advice, perhaps on how to structure your taxes or how to configure your books and that advice turns out to be wrong. You may suffer additional expense or you may be fined for improper bookkeeping practices or withholding insufficient taxes.

If you believe you have a legal or accounting malpractice claim, it is important to consult with an attorney who will discuss your case with you, and help you determine the legal remedies available to you.
