The Process of Pursuing a Legal Malpractice Case
The journey through a legal malpractice claim is often complex and requires clarity and precision at every stage. Kemp Law Group’s structured process ensures clients are supported and informed as their case progresses.
Initial Consultation and Case Review
Each malpractice case begins with a story, and Kemp Law Group starts by listening. The initial consultation is an opportunity for potential clients to share their experiences while Kemp Law Group evaluates the preliminary legal aspects of their situation.
If the case indicates potential malpractice, an in-depth review follows. This involves pouring over documents, timelines, and correspondence, as well as discussing potential strategies, likely outcomes, and the overall process.
Investigation and Legal Analysis
Evidence is key in legal malpractice claims. Kemp Law Group meticulously gathers all pertinent information, including the original case files and any subsequent interactions between the former attorney and the client.
Kemp Law Group’s attorneys undertake a thorough review of statutory law and case precedents to construct a robust framework for each claim.
Engagement and Representation
Once a formal decision is made to pursue the case, an engagement letter is signed, commencing the attorney-client relationship. This letter outlines the scope of representation, fee structure, and the obligations of both parties.
With the attorney-client relationship established, Kemp Law Group discusses possible strategies and outcomes, setting realistic expectations while aiming for the best possible results.
Claim Filing and Proceedings
The claim is then drafted and filed with the appropriate court. Kemp Law Group ensures that all filing deadlines are met and procedural requirements are scrupulously adhered to.
The discovery phase allows Kemp Law Group to obtain additional evidence, witness depositions, and expert testimony, all critical to fortifying the client’s position.
Resolution Approaches
Throughout the legal proceedings, Kemp Law Group actively seeks opportunities for settlement negotiations and mediation, aiming to resolve the case favorably without the need for trial.
If a settlement cannot be reached, the case will proceed to trial. Kemp Law Group provides vigorous representation in court, presenting a compelling case for the recovery of damages.
Post-Judgment Actions
Following the judgment, there may be a need for post-trial motions or even appeals. Kemp Law Group is prepared to continue representation if the need arises, ensuring the client’s case is advocated through to its finality.
Upon a successful judgment or settlement agreement, Kemp Law Group assists clients with the collection process, ensuring that any awarded damages are secured and that the case reaches its conclusion.
