CALIFORNIA - GHN News Editor - What happens when you have an attorney on
a legal case, and that attorney is negligent? In a recession where
money counts, a law firm reminds us of why we need to be vigilant and
what individual can do if their attorney causes them personal loss.
There are attorneys
who manage such cases and tell us that the problem can be significant,
so that people must take responsibility both in the hiring and observing
the legal work and follow-up of lawyers.
When clients endure losses in compensation due to lawyer negligence, the attorneys such as those at Ball & Roberts work with clients to reclaim proper reimbursement.
One
common type of legal malpractice in California, as an example, is
violating the California courts’ strict statutes of limitations. If a an
individual was unable to prevail in a civil claim because an attorney
failed to keep track of legal deadlines for filing in a case, there may
be a strong claim for a professional malpractice lawsuit.

This
almost happened in a lawsuit filed against the city by an attorney,
that unknown to those who hired him had major ties and work with the
city and therefore a potential conflict of interest. It took the
intervention of an outside attorney to ensure the suit was filed in time
on behalf of residents of Makaha Valley Towers, a condominium severely
damaged from boulders and water damage following a series of storms from a property owned by the City
of Honolulu.

Those
lawyers who handle lawsuits and interventions against other attorneys
remind us vigilance is important in all professional dealings and that
in case of property losses, negligent estate planning, negligent
administration of trusts and negligent drafting of buy-sell agreements

that create personal loss, recovery is possible.
