Sounds almost oxymoronic - needing a malpractice attorney for attorney malpractice. But it happens. Just like all jobs or professions, people screw up. Attorneys typically are required by their state or local bar association to have malpractice insurance coverage. And because of that their exists a pecuilar legal specialty, the malpractice attorney. As our article so pithily states: When you hire an attorney to represent you, that attorney is obligated to render competent professional service. If your attorney is incompetent, and you suffer damages as a result, then your attorney may be liable for your damages.
