Attorneys are required to comply with the rules of civil litigation and the rules in place in a particular court, when dealing with the courts, other attorneys, and third parties. If your attorney fails to comply with these rules, and your legal rights are compromised as a result, you may have a viable legal malpractice claim.

Pasadena, California, Conflict of Interest and Fraud Attorneys

At times attorneys commit legal malpractice due to a conflict of interest or other ethical violation.

Conflict of Interest by an Attorney

Every attorney is obligated to represent their clients' best interests with great diligence. Taking on a case with compromised obligations leads to conflicts of interest. For example, one attorney must be very careful in representing a passenger and a client injured in the same car accident in which the actions of the driver are at issue. Without the consent of the client(s) an attorney cannot find fault with one client in order to zealously represent another client.

Fiduciary Abuse and Fraud

The most significant ethical violation involves the fiduciary abuse of elders. As the "baby boom" generation continues to age and live longer, they accumulate more wealth. Those clients sometimes place their financial affairs in the hands of an attorney who abuses the client’s trust. At Ball & Roberts, we have helped victims of such abuse recover their financial losses.
