Lawyer Negligence? Suing a lawyer may sound a bit strange, but it is actually quite common. Whether it's a personal injury, divorce, or anything else that needs legal guidance, the end result is put into the hands of the lawyer handling the case. While most lawyers are dedicated to winning their client's case, some situations have proven otherwise. When a lawyer does not fulfill his or her professional duties and expectations as a lawyer, it is called legal malpractice.

The following qualities can all be indications of a lawyer who is not handling a client's case properly:

Lack of communication
Unclear communication (confusion caused for client)
Dishonesty
Over charged fees
Did file case befor statutes of limitations
Other unethical attributes or practices

A legal malpractice case against a lawyer presents itself when a lawyer fails to win a client's case which, otherwise, would have been won. This can result in many hardships for the client, such as wasted time and money.

Legal malpractice can also occur if the lawyer has behaved unprofessionally in ways that had nothing to do with the case at all, such as making sexual advances towards the client.

Each year, over 35,000 lawsuits are filed against insured lawyers for legal malpractice. This number does not include those lawyers who are uninsured, and the total figure is even higher.
