Legal malpractice is a form of professional negligence that occurs when a person's attorney is deficient in providing legal advice or legal representation, which ends up harming the person's right. Even lawyers must act reasonably when representing their clients. Legal malpractice can occur in any area of the law, from personal injury law, products liability law, to contract law and divorce law. These claims typically are highly specialized and require an experienced attorney to critically analyze whether another has committed malpractice.
 

A sample of Cannon & Dunphy's previous results in Legal Malpractice cases:

• $6 million settlement involving legal malpractice claim against a law firm that engaged in numerous conflicts of interest with the client and failed to give appropriate tax and legal advice to a 501(c)(3)  charitable foundation.
  

• $600,000 settlement against a law firm for engaging in a conflict of interest with its client in an international transaction.
   

The results depend on the facts of each case.
