Professional Malpractice and Liability

Our attorneys have decades of experience in successfully defending professional clients in a wide variety of cases.  The extent and breadth of trial experience among our attorneys makes us uniquely qualified to represent a diverse professional clientele.  Our attorneys have extensive experience representing professionals from many diverse fields, including:

• Attorneys

• Insurance agents and brokers
• Real estate agents and brokers
• Actuaries
• Escrow officers
• Corporate officers and directors
• Appraisers

Our attorneys are particularly skilled at addressing the issues presented when a professional’s judgment and reputation have been attacked.  We understand that each client belongs to a profession with its own standards of practice and ethics, and that these standards must be incorporated into a defense and clearly communicated to judges and juries.  We are attuned to the realities of the client’s profession and are experienced in showing how the client’s conduct adhered to accepted professional standards and practices. 

We also recognize that errors and omissions claims affect the client both professionally and personally, which is why our attorneys are always approachable, responsive, efficient, and result-oriented.  We help our clients move through this difficult process quickly and effectively, always seeking to resolve the issues with our client’s best interests in mind. 

We have successfully defended professionals in cases involving income tax, estate tax, auditing, probate, business litigation, shareholder derivative actions, business entity formation and dissolution, insurance broker negligence, real estate transactions and litigation, estate planning, malicious prosecution and abuse of process, intellectual property, anti-SLAPP issues, antitrust, Cartwright Act, unfair competition, privacy, embezzlement, escrow and sub-escrow negligence, appellate malpractice, and family law issues, among others. 

Our attorneys are supported by an experienced staff, as well as state-of-the-art technology, enabling us to manage massive and complex litigation involving hundreds of thousands of documents.
