Attorney Jesse Wimberly | Wimberly Law Firm
More than 40 years of fighting unethical practices in the legal field.
If you’re seeking assistance from an attorney for a legal malpractice case, you’re likely feeling frustrated and disappointed — and maybe some even stronger emotions. After all, you went to someone with a problem and paid them to fix it. Now, instead of a solution, you have the original problem PLUS a new problem with your lawyer!
You might also have some hesitations about hiring another attorney after an initial bad experience. But rest assured, we take our responsibilities seriously and will work hard to earn your trust back.
At Wimberly Law Firm, we put our decades of experience to use for our clients. Legal malpractice lawyer Jesse Wimberly has been practicing law for over 40 years and is dedicated to serving clients who have been victims of negligence. If you’ve suffered losses on account of a careless or incompetent attorney, we can help you move forward with a legal malpractice claim.
It’s usually in an attorney’s best interest to provide their clients with excellent and honest service because it’s good for business. But certain responsibilities go beyond just good business practices.
Lawyers have duties to their clients and prospective clients that they are legally required to provide. According to the code of ethics in Louisiana, a lawyer’s duty includes:
There is a legal code of ethics in every state that attorneys must follow. There are often additional codes of ethics for legal organizations that lawyers may be members of, such as the American Bar Association. Attorneys must adhere to their state’s code of ethics to protect the legal rights of their clients.
While losing your case might be disheartening, this alone is not a reason for a legal malpractice lawsuit. Lawyers sometimes make mistakes, like other people, and just because your attorney made an error does not mean you have grounds to sue them.
To have a legitimate legal malpractice claim, you need much stronger reasoning than simply being unhappy with the results of your case…
For starters, you must show that your lawyer owed you a duty based on a client-attorney relationship. This could be an agreement you and your lawyer signed, or another means to show that your lawyer was legally advising or representing you.
Second, you must provide evidence that your lawyer made a mistake which led to you losing your case. And finally, you must prove that you would have collected money from the case had you won, and that your lawyer was the cause of your financial loss.
The best way to find out if you have grounds to sue your lawyer is to contact an experienced legal malpractice attorney. At Wimberly Law Firm, we offer free initial consultations, and we would be happy to discuss your situation with you.
Legal malpractice cases can be hard to prove. Working with a legal malpractice attorney who understands legal malpractice cases will greatly increase your chances of winning your case. A legal malpractice attorney can:
Pursuing a lawsuit against your former or current lawyer is a complicated process that requires a knowledgeable and skilled legal malpractice attorney. Working with the right legal malpractice lawyer can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case.
One of the most important things to consider when searching for a legal malpractice attorney is their experience level – both generally, as well as in the specific area of legal malpractice. Legal malpractice is not a practice area you find at every law firm, and it may be difficult to find an exceptional lawyer with a background in legal malpractice law.
If you’ve already been taken advantage of by your previous lawyer, it’s essential to find a legal malpractice lawyer who is going to listen to you and your concerns, and be honest with you about your case. You deserve to work with an attorney who is trustworthy and diligent, and who will act with your best interests in mind.
