Professional Malpractice Attorney

When individuals hire a professional, they trust professionals to give advice that is reliable and acceptable within industry custom. When a professional fails to perform their duties appropriately, unsuspecting individuals may receive bad advice that could also be potentially dangerous. This substandard advice may constitute professional malpractice. Bad advice could even create legal problems for individuals with the IRS or law enforcement. When this happens, professionals are likely to fight back by arguing that their opinion was correct but individuals either did not follow their advice or factors outside the professional’s control were unforeseen and caused the problems. Do these sound like good excuses to you? Not to us.

Here at Schlacter Law, we do not let professionals get away with professional malpractice. We have recovered millions of dollars for our clients aggrieved by the wrongful conduct of others. We make sure that professionals and their insurance companies do not take advantage of our clients.

If you have suffered damages by a professional’s failure to meet the accepted standard of care or level of professionalism required in their field, you may be entitled to compensation. The type of compensation and the extent of compensation depends on the type of professional and the details of your case.
