Legal malpractice cases are difficult cases. That’s why they require lawyers who focus on legal malpractice or experience with the issues and the law, and have a good working relationship with the carriers and lawyers who defend those cases. Legal malpractice cases are often defended vigorously because of pride or personal animus on the part of the opposing lawyer, so you must embark on this not with temerity, but with vigor. The key to these cases is having a good lawyer who knows what he’s doing.
