Attorney Responsibilities and Clients Rights
By Attorney Suzan Herkowitz Singer, Sphinx, a Division of
Sourcebooks
Venue:
National
Description:
Are you dealing with malpractice, negligence, or breach of
contract by your lawyer? Know your rights and legal options
against your attorney.
Lawyers can fail their clients in many ways. You may feel
that you have been wronged by your lawyer, but do not know if
you have a valid legal claim. You may want to take legal action,
but do not know how to begin the process. Resolving disputes
with a lawyer will require you to be well-informed and prepared
to act.
Among other things, Attorney Responsibilities and Client
Rights will help you decide:
- if your complaint against your attorney will be accepted
in court
- whether it is wise to pursue further action against
your lawyer
- which legal strategy—litigation, arbitration, or mediation—is
likely to bring you the most beneficial result
Armed with this information, you will be equipped to make
informed decisions about steps you can take to assert your rights
and make your claim.
This book explains:
- factors in proving malpractice
- legal definition of negligence
- direct damages, both financial and emotional
- dual representation and other conflicts of interest
- contractual obligations and breach of contract
- specific legal rights your attorney may have violated
- ineffective assistance of council claims
- recovering funds for financial misconduct and excessive
fees
- attorney standards of conduct
- filing lawsuits against attorneys
- grievance procedures
