PHOENIX LEGAL MALPRACTICE ATTORNEYS
EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONALS HOLDING NEGLIGENT COUNSEL ACCOUNTABLE
When Miller Kory Rowe LLP accepts a new client, we focus solely on meeting their needs. Our firm only accepts certain types of cases in order to allow us to focus on the clients we have and get them the justice and compensation they deserve. There are instances when people hire a lawyer and do not get the level of service they signed up for. Understanding the difference between incompetence and negligence is essential when trying to decide whether or not legal malpractice has taken place.
Unfortunately, legal malpractice takes place far more often than most people realize.
Proving legal malpractice requires our lawyers to show one of the following:
- Duty – Showing that the attorney in question owed you a duty and failed to deliver.
- Breach – Proving that the duty you were supposed to be provided was breached. This basically means we have to show your lawyer acted in a blatantly negligent manner.
- Causation – We have to show the judge and jury that the negligent actions of the attorney caused you financial distress. Once we prove this, we will show the negligence of your attorney caused you to lose money and will ask for damage compensation as a result.
Showing that your attorney made errors is one thing, but providing legal malpractice is on another level. Our team of lawyers has handled many cases involving legal malpractice and will be able to assist you in recouping the damages caused by the negligent party.

SITUATIONS THAT MAY REQUIRE YOU TO FILE A LEGAL MALPRACTICE LAWSUIT
For most people, knowing what constitutes legal malpractice is a bit of a challenge. Here are some of the situations that can be considered legal malpractice.
- Your Lawyer Misused the Retainer Money You Paid Them – If you suspect your lawyer has in some way misused the retainer money you have supplied them with, then you need to contact our team today. While filing a complaint with the Arizona State Bar will be helpful, you will need the team at Miller Kory Rowe LLP to help you file a lawsuit to recoup the money you have lost.
- The Attorney Settles Your Case Without Informing or Consulting You – Many personal injury cases will settle out of court. Getting the right amount of compensation in a settlement will require the help of an experienced lawyer. If the lawyer you have hired settles your case without informing or consulting you, suing for legal malpractice is a must. In order for legal malpractice to be settled in a case like this, we will have to prove the settlement your lawyer got was for far less than you deserved.
- Your Case Is Thrown Out of Court Due to Your Lawyer’s Negligence – For a lawsuit to be successful, a lawyer will have to fill out the appropriate paperwork. When a case is thrown out of court due to a lawyer’s negligence, you will need to take action. Our team of attorneys can help you get justice when these types of situations arise. Waiting too long to take action in a legal malpractice case may lead to the statute of limitations running out.
