Experienced Utah Lawyer to File Legal Negligence Lawsuit
To prove legal malpractice, it must first be shown that the lawyer made a significant mistake. These kinds of mistakes include:
- Failure to file your case on time, resulting in its dismissal
- Failure to file other court documents
- Conflict of interest
- Failure to present evidence
- Failure to put an expert on the stand
- Settling a case without client permission
If it can be established that your former lawyer made a mistake, it must then be proven that the lawyer's mistake led to an unfavorable outcome in your case. Practically speaking, particularly when it comes to family law matters, this basically requires that the facts of your case be "re-litigated."
Importantly, even a successful showing of legal malpractice is not likely to change the outcome of your original case. But if successful, your former attorney is liable for the damages his or her negligence caused.
