Legal Malpractice

New York City Professional Malpractice Attorney

A legal malpractice claim is a civil action available to clients who have suffered a financial harm or loss of rights due to attorney negligence or malpractice. At the Law Office of Richard M. Kenny, we have many years of experience in protecting the rights and interests of our clients in legal malpractice cases. We can provide you with experienced, seasoned advocacy in a legal malpractice case.

A lawyer’s malpractice can lead to devastating financial losses and the loss of your rights. If you have suffered as a result of attorney negligence contact our office to speak with an experienced legal malpractice attorney.

Attorneys in every state including New York are held to a certain standard of professional performance. When an attorney fails to take a required action or acts negligently and otherwise fails to adequately represent a client in a legal matter, that attorney is thus not meeting the set standard of care and professional performance to which he is required.

Legal malpractice may involve:

  • Failure to file a case within the applicable statute of limitations
  • Failure to timely file a notice of claim against a municipality or other governmental entity
  • Failure to timely comply with court ordered or statutory deadlines
  • Trial errors, including failure to raise issues, failing to present evidence or withholding evidence, failure to raise proper objections, and failure to notify plaintiffs of relevant information regarding their personal injury case
  • Other examples of attorney negligence or failure to properly represent a client

If you believe that you have suffered financial loss or loss of legal rights because an attorney who represented you has failed to perform according to the established standards of the profession, let a member of our legal team help you sort out your options. If damage has been caused to your person, property, or business as a result of legal malpractice, we can help.
