Legal malpractice is when an attorney falls below the standard of care required of attorneys in a similar situation. Simply stated, it is when an attorney fails to do something he should have done or does something incorrectly. For example, if you hire an attorney and that attorney fails to file your lawsuit within the time period in which such lawsuit must be filed, then that lawyer has committed legal malpractice.
