Legal Malpractice - Pacific Law Center

San Diego, California Legal Malpractice Attorney

Since 2005, the Pacific Law Center has had at least 38 complaints filed against it, according to the Better Business Bureau. According to the Union Tribune, a number of former attorneys at Pacific Law Center have claimed the firm regularly assigned workloads too large to ensure clients received the type of service advertised by the firm.

Additionally, former attorneys have claimed that the firm encouraged lawyers to settle cases quickly. At the Law Offices of Scott S. Harris, I represent clients who have suffered financial harm due to negligence and legal malpractice on the part of the Pacific Law Center. Typically, legal malpractice cases involve whether or not your attorney violated professional standards of conduct, resulting in financial harm to you. Working with economists, I expose legal malpractice and quantify the financial harm suffered by my client as a result.

What Constitutes Legal Malpractice?

While each case is different, in general, the following kinds negligence constitute legal malpractice:

• Failure to file a motion on time
• Failure to show for court hearing
• Over billing
• Mistakes or errors in writing legal documents or contracts
• Violation of fiduciary responsibility
• Failure to file before statute of limitation goes into effect
• Ignoring client's wishes regarding negotiations or legal options
• Forgetting to introduce important evidence at trial

Financial Harm and Legal Malpractice

Attorneys who fail to adhere to professional standards of conduct can cause financial harm in more ways than simply losing a case. In working with economists, I evaluate financial harm in terms of current and future financial losses. Incompetent legal representation not only impacts the award or settlement amount in a tort case it can also negatively impact a business' or person's reputation. My office quantifies all aspects of financial harm and demands fair compensation.
