When you hire an attorney, you expect your legal matter to be handled competently and in a timely manner. Lawyers have a responsibility to file claims, motions and other paperwork within specific the time limits according to the law or the judge presiding over your case. Unfortunately, attorneys sometimes miss these important deadlines causing their clients' cases to be dismissed. This is a common form of legal malpractice and should not be tolerated.
If your attorney acted negligently and missed a statute of limitations, you are entitled to compensation for all relevant damages.
