LEGAL MALPRACTICE
For more than thirty-five years, Farrell & Farrell lawyers have defended their fellow professionals in legal malpractice claims. Our Firm prides itself on being a ‘Lawyer’s Lawyer.’ During these decades, our lawyers have accepted the responsibility of defending lawyers because we recognize that these cases often have attendant ethics and licensure implications. Lawyers and law firms request Farrell & Farrell when they have a meaningful liability exposure.
Outcomes are generally better when the lawyer or the insurance company hires Farrell & Farrell before the civil action is filed. We have successfully intervened and persuaded the adverse lawyer that suit should not be filed because the putative defendant met the standard of care. If suit has been filed, our team of lawyers has the experience and capacity to investigate, prepare and try the legal malpractice case to a successful resolution.
From the insurance perspective, these cases can be expensive because they frequently involve a case within the case. From the lawyer’s perspective, it is a difficult psychological adjustment because of the adverse public relations impact of the mere accusation. As a result, above average preparation and courtroom savvy is necessary to recreate the underlying case, establish standard of care, contest causation and vindicate the lawyer.
Farrell & Farrell accepts representations throughout the state of West Virginia and in proximate regions of Kentucky and Ohio as requested. Compare the qualifications of our lawyers and understand that our lawyers have the experience and skills to make the difference. With Farrell & Farrell, preparation, communication and professionalism is the commitment.
