Legal Malpractice
As the number of lawyers in Florida has multiplied over the years we have seen an increase in legal malpractice claims.
The same analysis and expertise that we bring to complicated medical malpractice cases and nursing home abuse cases also allows us to pursue matters involving legal malpractice. We have found that there are attorneys advertising for medical malpractice cases and nursing home negligence cases even though they do not have the experience, financial strength or trial skills to take these cases to trial and win the verdict their clients deserve.
David Eaton is a Board Certified Trial Lawyer with over 20 years of experience taking complicated professional negligence cases to trial and obtaining hundreds of confidential out of court settlements to compensate our clients at the highest level possible.
Additionally, David Eaton is also a adjunct professor of law at Stetson University College of Law, and we developed the first legal malpractice class to teach law students what legal malpractice is, how to prepare and defend a legal malpractice claim and how to avoid being sued for legal malpractice.
Therefore, if you believe that an attorney gave you the wrong advice about settling your medical malpractice or personal injury case, failed to file your claim within the statute of limitations, had a conflict of interest in your representation or any other serious flaw in his or her representation of you please contact us immediately.
All of the initial investigation is done at no charge to you, and we will only be reimbursed for our costs if we resolve your claim to your satisfaction either by settlement or trial. Further, our services are provided on a contingent fee basis, so there is no charge for attorney’s fees unless we resolve your claim to your satisfaction either by settlement or trial. You must act quickly if you think you may have a legal malpractice claim because Florida has a very short statute of limitations in which to bring a legal malpractice claim.
The law as to when the statute of limitations ends in a legal malpractice case is very complex. Even if you have been told by another law firm that the statute of limitations has expired or you do not have a claim please call us to get our opinion. Many times we have been able to bring successful claims for clients that have been told by other lawyers that they do not have a valid claim or that their claim has been barred by the statute of limitations.
If you are looking for a law firm dedicated to the successful investigation and prosecution of your legal malpractice claim please call our law office at 813-264-4800 or email your questions to David Eaton.
