Legal Malpractice

Legal Malpractice

You hire a lawyer and put all of your trust in him or her to represent you with competence, loyalty and the promise of confidentiality. These are the bedrock principles attorneys are required to uphold by the Code of Professional Responsibility, laid down in rules mandated by the Kentucky Supreme Court.

Now you have just learned that your case has gone badly. Perhaps you’re an inventor and the product you have invented was not properly protected by the patent lawyer you hired to file your patent. All of your hard work is taken from you by your competitors. NOW you need a lawyer skilled in legal malpractice to pick up the pieces and put your life’s work back together by holding your former lawyer accountable for his negligence in representing you.
