Attorney Malpractice Claims: Legal Conflicts Of Interest

Every lawyer owes undivided loyalty to each of his or her clients. Specifically, a lawyer cannot effectively represent a client if he or she is also representing a client with opposing interests. Further, a conflict of interest can arise if a lawyer is representing someone who has adverse or competing interests with a former client as well. A conflict of interest in itself is a breach of legal ethics. Conflicts can give rise to other problems, such as breaches of confidentiality. Lawyers and law firms have a duty to investigate for potential conflicts of interest, and must turn down potential clients if there is a conflict of interest. When lawyers discover a conflict after undertaking a client's representation, they maintain a duty to withdraw from the matter at hand. If your attorney failed to protect your interests due to a legal conflict of interest and you sustained injury as a result, you may have a legal malpractice claim.

The caliber of your lawyer can have a significant impact on the overall result. For years, victims of legal malpractice have placed their trust in Antony Stuart of Stuart Law Firm.
