Holding Professionals Accountable for the Consequences of Their Negligence
Professionals have a legal and ethical duty to act in their clients´ best interests and to apply their education and training in a competent fashion toward that end. At the law firm of Schachter Harris, LLP, our Dallas professional malpractice lawyers help clients in Texas and nationwide pursue negligence claims against lawyers, accountants, doctors and other professionals. Our attorneys are experienced at pursuing claims such as the following:
- Legal malpractice: Attorneys owe their clients the highest duty one party can owe to another, and they can be held accountable for the harm caused by conflicts of interest, contract drafting errors, poor legal advice, and other forms of legal malpractice.
- Accounting malpractice: When accountants and auditors fail to do their jobs properly in accordance with applicable regulatory standards, their clients can be left with tax penalties, securities misrepresentation claims, and other serious consequences.
- Medical malpractice: Texas has difficult medical malpractice laws, but it is still possible to hold doctors and other medical providers accountable when their failure to follow professional standards causes their patients to suffer serious harm.
- Investment and securities malpractice: Stockbrokers, insurance brokers, investment advisers and other financial professionals may be liable for negligence and fraud when they recommend unsuitable investments or misrepresent the nature of securities.
- Construction malpractice: Architects, engineers and other professionals who design defective structures can be held accountable for the consequences of those defects.
- Real estate malpractice: If you have suffered losses as a result of the negligence of an appraiser, surveyor, or real estate agent, you may have a malpractice claim.
Professional malpractice claims typically involve complex issues that must be evaluated through consultation with qualified experts. Our attorneys understand how to put these claims together and how to effectively advocate for clients who have been harmed by professional negligence.
