Legal malpractice is not just a theoretical risk-it is a real and rising threat to every practicing attorney. Yet most lawyers are unprepared for the ethical traps, procedural missteps, and human errors that can lead to a malpractice lawsuit. Legal Malpractice: A Practical Guide delivers a clear, accessible roadmap to understanding, preventing, and responding to legal malpractice claims.
Written by a seasoned legal consultant with over a decade of experience in California civil litigation support, this guide offers a unique perspective from outside the attorney's chair-but inside the legal process. It examines malpractice from a strategic, procedural, and psychological angle, helping lawyers avoid common pitfalls and build systems that protect both client interests and professional reputations.
From client communication and calendaring protocols to risk audits, insurance coverage, and defending malpractice claims, this book equips lawyers with the knowledge to practice safely and ethically in a high-risk profession.
