What Is Legal Malpractice By Attorneys?

Legal malpractice occurs in civil and criminal cases. It is not about being unhappy or displeased because of an unfavorable case decision. It does not have anything to do with whether you liked or disliked your attorney. It involves some form of negligence, breach of contract or breach of fiduciary duty on the part of the lawyer that resulted in harm to the client. In criminal cases, defendants have constitutional rights to professional representation from competent counsel. Clients in civil case matters should expect their attorneys to provide competent representation at each step.


A plaintiff in a civil case must prove legal malpractice occurred in order to recover damages from the negligence lawyer. One must show that the attorney’s acts were mistakes that no reasonable attorney would make. The proof would have to demonstrate what the case outcome would have been if the attorney had not made the errors. There must also be damage to the client. For example, missing a court filing deadline could be a point of legal malpractice providing it was related to a loss in the client’s case result.

Negligence, Breach Of Fiduciary Duty, Breach Of Contract

Negligence is the failure to act as any reasonable person would under certain circumstances. Fiduciary responsibilities include taking care of money for another. The mishandling of money can cause a breach of fiduciary duty. A failure to perform contractual promises as set forth in a binding retainer agreement, for example, can bring about a breach of contract. There are countless examples of actions that can lead to legal malpractice. State law establishes the statutory time in which to serve a lawsuit. If you believe you have a case, a lawsuit must be served within the statute of limitations. Minnesota law generally requires legal malpractice lawsuits to be started within six years of the malpractice.
