Legal Malpractice in Ohio: How to determine if your lawyer committed malpractice and what to do about it (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781506009216)

Legal malpractice occurs when a lawyer has damaged his or her client by doing something in a negligent manner or failing to do something required. People who hire a lawyer place an enormous amount of trust and confidence in that attorney. After all, the outcome of a legal matter may have a significant impact on a person's life and future. Fortunately, most lawyers are competent and ethical professionals who meet the expectations of trust. However, some attorneys make major errors when handling a case. As a result, the client suffers losses and damages. A former client suing his or her lawyer for legal malpractice must demonstrate that the outcome of the case would have been different if the attorney would not have made an error or series of errors. This book describes what legal malpractice is and what it isn't. It also explains the time limit involved in filing legal malpractice case in Ohio and the elements one must show to prove legal malpractice has occurred.
