You lost your legal case and you are angry. After all, the progress of your case took years while legal costs mounted and now you may have to pay court costs, too. Who is to blame? Was your case really not strong or did your lawyer handle everything incorrectly?
You may feel that your attorney did not perform well and question why he or she should be paid when you did not win. You may consider suing the lawyer for malpractice. While it is true that some lawyers commit malpractice by not adequately representing their clients, proving a legal malpractice case can be extremely difficult. It is hard for a client to knowledgeably and objectively judge whether the attorney’s performance was appropriate or negligent.
