Legal Malpractice
When an attorney's negligence causes you harm, you have the right to seek compensation.
Legal malpractice is the term for negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, or breach of contract by an attorney that causes harm to his or her client. In order to rise to an actionable level of negligence (an actual breach of a legal duty of care), the injured party must show that the attorney's acts were not merely the result of poor strategy, but that they were the result of errors that no reasonably prudent attorney would make.
When an attorney is negligent in the manner in which he represents a client, the client has every right to seek compensation for any harms, damages or losses he suffers as a result. Jazlowiecki & Jazlowiecki represent clients in legal malpractice claims when there is a financial loss caused by the actions of an attorney.

We assess whether the errors rise above poor strategy to an actionable breach of the legal duty of care owed to you as a client.
Your Underlying Case
We evaluate the merits of your original case to determine the full extent of harms, damages, and financial losses you suffered.
