legal malpractice happens when an attorney fails to render competent professional service to a client, and such misconduct results in damages to the client. Negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract are all theories of liability that may be asserted in an action for legal malpractice.

Persons suspicious of the quality of their legal representation often need an experienced and aggressive lawyer like Phillips P. O’Shaughnessy to help determine whether there has been substandard performance that constitutes legal malpractice.

Mr. O’Shaughnessy is licensed to practice law in Florida, New York, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. He is a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum.
