Legal Malpractice

When an attorney’s negligence causes real harm — a missed deadline, a mishandled case, a failure to advise a client of critical rights or risks — the consequences can be severe. Michael Johnson of Gottfried Alexander Law Firm represents clients who have been harmed by an attorney’s failure to meet the applicable standard of care, as well as attorneys who need experienced defense counsel when a malpractice claim is brought against them.

Legal malpractice cases require a case within a case: proving not only that an attorney breached their duty, but that the breach caused actual, quantifiable harm. These matters demand meticulous factual development, a clear understanding of the underlying representation, and the ability to explain complex legal and procedural issues persuasively to a judge or jury.
