Washington, D.C., Area, Maryland and Northern Virginia Legal Malpractice Attorney
When you engage a lawyer to handle your business affairs, injury claim, or any other important matter, you have a right to high expectations for professional conduct and performance. You count on competent representation, including clear, thorough communication. Unfortunately, attorneys make mistakes and sometimes fail to fulfill those expectations.
For the client, a lawyer's error often means much more than disappointment over a lost or dismissed civil case. It can have tremendous financial and other consequences that negatively impact your future well-being.
No case is too large or too small. Call John Lopatto III toll-free at 877-698-0086.
John Lopatto III specializes in recovering damages for plaintiffs who have been inadequately represented in personal injury, malpractice and business cases. We have experience across the full spectrum of legal malpractice, including:
- Mishandled civil and personal injury cases
- Employment litigation
- Buy/sell agreements
- Disputes involving government contracts
- Family corporation disputes
- Disputes over wills and estates
- Franchisor/Dealer Disputes
If your attorney has missed an important deadline, has failed to inform you of key facts, or has entered into an unauthorized settlement, you may have recourse through a legal malpractice suit. If you believe your lawyer has put his or her own interests ahead of yours, you should seek an objective opinion from an experienced legal malpractice attorney.
The Right Expert Witness Often Makes the Difference
Expert testimony is a critical component in many personal injury, malpractice and business cases. Many such cases are won because an expert witness is credible and persuasive; many are lost because the plaintiff's counsel fails to call an expert capable of supporting your claims. John Lopatto III pays special attention to this potentially major aspect of your case. If calling in a qualified expert witness could have made the difference in your case, we will fully pursue this angle and secure relevant testimony.
These are just a few examples of what can constitute legal malpractice, and what can enable you to file a successful civil action and recover damages. You don't have to simply settle for an outcome you believe was caused by negligent or unethical legal representation.
