For 22 years I've practiced in State and Federal Courts nationwide, handled thousands of cases and dealt with thousands of lawyers and clients. I've dealt with the good, the bad and the ugly of lawyers and know better than anyone else to give you these quick tips to finding your lawyer:
1. Choose a lawyer like yourself. You want a lawyer who has the same values and personality like you. If you're aggressive, then you can't hire an attorney who is nonchalant and barely moves.
A lawyer's breach of fiduciary duty alleged in a Legal Malpractice case refunds legal fees, or, disgorges fees from the lawyer. Alleging only a legal malpractice claim limits a client to damages for negligence, and that's if they exist. The difference between the causes of action are clear.
