When the need arises to retain the services of a San Francisco legal malpractice attorney, you expect to be fairly represented by a litigator who has a thorough understanding of the law; someone with integrity that you can rely upon for guidance throughout the legal process.  Although your attorney cannot assure you of a positive financial conclusion to your case, he still has an obligation to competently represent your interests with honesty and professionalism.

While simply losing a case does not constitute malpractice, if you are convinced your case was mishandled or you were misrepresented as a result of careless actions on the part of your attorney, you may have a valid claim of legal malpractice. Although, there is no sufficient compensation for the emotional stress or mental anguish you have already undergone; you still have the option to seek the justice you deserve.  Legal malpractice occurs when an attorney fails to render competent legal service and does not act according to professional standards.

Situations involving legal malpractice are difficult to prove; you must first show that your attorney acted with negligence and that you were denied fair compensation as a result of his actions.  Proof must be shown that an attorney-client relationship existed, the attorney breached a promised duty, and the resultant wrongdoing caused harm to the client.  Due to the intricacy of handling a case of this nature, the representation of an expert litigator in the field of legal malpractice is essential.
