• The client suffered an injury
• The damages suffered resulted from the attorney's negligence

Legal Malpractice: Not Always Easy to Define
Extorting money or stealing from a client clearly violates the law. Other types of legal malpractice can fall into a grey area. Would your case have had a different outcome if your attorney had performed differently?

Attorneys are not able to guarantee the outcome of a case. Moreover, there are situations and circumstances which are outside an attorney's control. Sometimes things happen during the handling of a case which impact the case's value or viability.

In Texas, if an attorney fails to act as a "reasonably prudent attorney" would have acted under the same or similar circumstances, and the client was deprived of a legal right or otherwise injured/damaged as a result thereof, the client may be entitled to recover from his/her attorney for the reasonably foreseeable consequence of the attorney's negligence.

Cases of attorney negligence can be complicated. At the Debes Law Firm, Mr. Debes has considerable experience in evaluating and managing claims of legal malpractice. If you or someone you know believes that you have been the victim of attorney negligence, please contact our Texas legal malpractice attorney today.
