Attorney Malpractice & Disciplinary: Defense

If you are an attorney facing a charge of legal malpractice, your livelihood is at stake. The years or decades you have spent building your legal practice can be wiped out by a single finding of legal malpractice. You need an attorney in your corner with the experience to navigate your matter in such a way as to give you the best chance for a positive outcome.

The legal malpractice team at Gross Shuman P.C. has decades of experience successfully navigating litigation arising from allegations of legal malpractice. We only represent attorneys in the defense of a malpractice claim.

In the course of representing attorneys in the defense of legal malpractice cases through the years, our attorneys have defended attorneys in a wide range of cases including:

  • The prosecution of personal injury actions
  • Estate planning and probate
  • Tax planning
  • The conduct of litigation, corporate mergers and acquisitions, securities filings, family law, and cyber liability.
  • Real estate transactions

If you receive notice of a claim against you, every minute counts. The earlier your attorney begins to gather evidence and build your defense, the stronger position you will be in to resolve the matter and return to focusing on your legal practice.

Effective representation requires not just the ability to defend an attorney in the depositions, hearings, discovery process, and trial that inevitably follow, but also the ability to effectively assess the problem and, where possible, provide a solution pre-empting the necessity of a lawsuit. Our goal is to minimize the public exposure our clients face because we know that the court of public opinion can be extremely damaging to an attorney’s practice.

No lawyer likes to be the subject of a lawsuit, to have your reputation questioned and your practice placed in jeopardy. Our team has the experience to develop a strategic approach to fit your unique matter, and execute that strategy to resolve your attorney malpractice claim as efficiently as possible.

If you are an attorney with questions or concerns related to legal malpractice, give any member of our team a call today to explore your options.
