Try all the available alternatives to litigation before proceeding to the court. But, if no option works out well for you and suing the attorney is the last resort, get in touch with an experienced legal malpractice lawyer to file a lawsuit. Once the lawsuit is filed, suitable evidence and expert witnesses need to be arranged to prove your claim. Here are a few guidelines that would help you to effectively sue your legal representative for negligence:
1)Keep a copy of the fee agreement or the contract signed by you in the beginning, as well as copies all the case records, phone calls made to each other during the case proceedings, e-mails, and other important documents related to the case in a file.
2)Have with you all the required documents that could prove your legal negligence claim beyond doubt. To put it in simple words, collect all the required evidence to establish clearly that your legal representative failed to fulfill his duty and did not act properly while dealing with your case. To prove this, you need to have your case file that shows how the case proceeded and where and how the lawyer committed a blunder.
3)Once you have proven negligence or breach of fiduciary duty by the attorney, you would be required to prove that misrepresentation of the case due to negligence led to a huge financial loss and affected you badly.
4)Also, have attested documents from legal firms and other competent law professionals to prove that any other attorney of similar skill level and experience would not have dealt with the case in such a manner.
In short, document all the evidence that you think can help you prove your legal negligence claim.
