Q. Is there a conflict of interest when a lawyer supports beneficiaries' efforts to dissolve his clients' irrevocable trust

31 December 2018

A: Yes there is a conflict of interest, but it is the transferring of the asset that is the most immediate serious issue.

Q. A med pro wrote a mental eval with direct lies in it One is obvious enough in court I think: Is that libel/malpractice

20 December 2018

A: It is neither liable or legal malpractice. It may be another tort and you may be able to add your own notes to the record. Even if we discuss your case further, I will not be your attorney until we both sign a fee agreement. There are strict time deadlines so that you must file your lawsuit in Court or take other action.

Q. Who should I report legal malpractice suspicions to? Just the state bar?

6 December 2018

A: If you are considering bringing a legal malpractice lawsuit, you should confer with an experienced legal malpractice attorney prior to your taking any action, including filing a complaint with the bar.
