Biography
We understand the importance of trust and competence when it comes to legal representation. If you believe that you or your company has suffered damages as a result of an attorney’s malpractice or breach of fiduciary duty, our attorneys are here to help you seek the justice you deserve.
Professionals such as lawyers, CPAs, engineers, architects, and surveyors have a duty to act reasonably according the standards of practice in their respective fields. Our firm has handled many multi-million dollar claims against professionals and defended them as well. Very few firms have handled legal malpractice claims on both sides of the docket, and that experience gives the lawyers at Wynne Law a unique understanding of how both sides think and operate. Wynne Law knows how to leverage every aspect of a professional liability claim to the client’s advantage whether a plaintiff or defendant. For example, David Wynne successfully prosecuted a significant legal malpractice claim against two law firms that spoliated critical evidence after a vehicle rollover resulted in a client’s traumatic brain injuries. He also recently recovered a confidential settlement for a private equity firm against a prominent New York law firm that failed to adequately investigate critical underlying legal risks in a business transaction worth over $100 million. Wynne Law has also defended numerous well-respected law firms against groundless malpractice claims. We are well versed in the most recent state and federal law regarding the proper elements of a legal malpractice claim and related defenses.
Not every mistaken tactical decision or legal opinion constitutes negligence, much less breach of fiduciary duty, but if a law firm or lawyer has failed to act in accordance with legal industry rules, customs, and practices, perhaps including the heightened standards applicable to an attorney who is board-certified, a viable claim for legal malpractice may exist. Malpractice claims sometimes result from missing deadlines, failing to properly investigate claims, omitting claims or defenses, mishandling client funds, conflicts of interest, or failing to adequately communicate with clients. Wynne Law has experience handling all aspects of significant, complex legal malpractice claims.
Our firm is highly selective regarding the types of legal malpractice cases that we handle. We are not a high volume operation that churns through numerous cases. We are very careful when deciding where to focus our time and resources so each client knows they will receive responsive, thorough representation. Cases must meet the firms’ risk profile. Therefore, if you intend for the firm to consider handling your legal malpractice case on a contingent fee basis and advance all costs for the case, the estimated damages must be sufficiently high to satisfy the firm’s selection criteria, which typically requires such damages to exceed $1 million.
If you have been the victim of legal malpractice involving estimated damages over $1 million or are a law firm facing a groundless claim, contact our firm for a confidential consultation. We are deeply experienced in this area of the law and well prepared to assess the viability of the case at its earliest stages. We look forward to guiding you or your company through these types of cases, devoting our time and attention to every critical detail, and will do everything possible to you get the justice you deserve.
