LEGAL MALPRACTICE
CLAIMS AGAINST LAWYERS
Attorneys are trusted to protect their client’s best interests. Unfortunately, this trust can be misplaced. Just because your attorney didn’t get you a good result doesn’t always mean the attorney committed malpractice. However, you may have a legal malpractice claim if your attorney was negligent, breached their contract with you, or breaching their duty of trust. If you think that you’ve been harmed legally or financially by an attorney’s negligence or other wrongdoing, we can help by undoing the work of those who can’t be trusted.
COMPLEX LITIGATION
The term “Complex Litigation” typically refers to suits involving multiple parties, multiple claims, multiple lawyers, multiple geographic locations, unusual or novel facts, or novel legal issues. Handling Legal Malpractice and Ethics Matters require us to have a wide knowledge base and diverse legal resources, making us uniquely outfitted to represent clients in complex litigation scenarios. Whether your case involves a significant personal injury, business dispute, corporate dissolution, or partnership dispute; a novel issue involving the family courts of South Carolina, or you find yourself in a dispute with your property owner’s association, we are ready to apply our unique knowledge base and resources to professionally and competently represent you.
