Professional Liability

Licensed professionals are held to ethical and legal standards in their industries, due to the potential for harm they can cause to their clients. We represent clients harmed as a result of the negligent or unethical conduct of accountants, real estate agents, closing agents, insurance agents, and other licensed professionals. 

Professional Malpractice

We have represented clients across the state in professional negligence/malpractice actions involving a wide-range of professionals, including:

  • Attorney Malpractice

  • Accountant Malpractice

  • Insurance Agent Malpractice (Negligent Procurement/Failure to Procure Coverage)

  • Real Estate Agent Malpractice

  • Closing Agent Malpractice

Breach of Fiduciary Duties

We also represent clients in claims against fiduciaries, or those in special positions of power, whose negligent or intentional misconduct has resulted in serious harm to those whom they were entrusted to protect.

Classic examples of those in a fiduciary relationship include attorney/client, executor/heir, guardian/ward, agent/principal, trustee/beneficiary, and corporate officer/shareholder. However, other individuals can be held to a fiduciary standard, depending on the particular facts. These special relationships can arise out of not only a legal relationship or contract, but can arise whenever one person has a duty to act for or give advice for the benefit of another upon matters within the scope of that relationship.

We can explore both legal and equitable remedies that may be available, including for the recovery of damages, imposition of constructive trusts, disgorgement of profits or commissions, injunctive relief, or equitable accounting.
