Attorney Malpractice occurs when a lawyer fails to render competent professional services to a client and as a result the client suffers losses. The three major theories of liability are negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and breach of contract. To prove malpractice, i.e., to establish your attorney's liability, you must prove that your lawyer owed you a duty to represent you competently and that he or she made a mistake and that your lawyer's mistake harmed you causing you damages. Additionally, you must file your lawsuit within the statutory time period or "statute of limitations" established by state law for Attorney Malpractice claims.
