Legal Malpractice Lawyers in Cincinnati

What is legal malpractice? Cincinnati lawyers recognize it as the deliberate or accidental mistreatment of in-need clients. An attorney who neglects a client, provides them with incorrect information, or deliberately delays the progress of their case can face accusations of professional misconduct.

Fortunately for victims of legal malpractice, there are roads to financial – and legal – recovery.

You can work with a Cincinnati malpractice lawyer to challenge the mistreatment you’ve faced while seeking legal representation. Cooper Elliott believes that no one should fall victim to mistreatment, especially not those people already looking for support. Let’s work together to bring justice to the legal system.

Count on a Cincinnati Legal Malpractice Lawyer to Identify Injustice

Our Cincinnati personal injury lawyers categorize any behaviors that endanger a person’s civil rights to qualify as actionable negligence. In other words, if you can prove that the attorney who previously represented you engaged in any of the following behaviors, you may have the right to a legal malpractice case:

Attorneys may not purposefully or accidentally delay a client’s case with malicious intent
Attorneys may not make false promises to their clients
Attorneys may not lie about the status of a client’s case
Attorneys must take reasonable steps to maintain a client’s paperwork and case details
Attorneys may not financially abuse or otherwise mistreat their clients

If you’ve fallen victim to any of these behaviors, you may find yourself reluctant to trust another legal professional. Our team understands. It’s with your concerns in mind that we offer possible clients the opportunity to book a free case consultation with our staff.

Our free case consultations do not obligate you to take legal action against another lawyer. We can instead use these opportunities to outline the negligence that upended your previous legal efforts. Our Cincinnati legal malpractice attorneys can then recommend a course of action that may get you the justice – and the financial support – you deserve.

Failure to Uphold a Professional Standard of Care

Every attorney interested in practicing in Ohio and beyond has an obligation to uphold the industry’s ethical standards as outlined by Ohio’s Code of Professional Responsibility. No attorney may treat a client disrespectfully or provide anything less than representation that meets a standard of care.

You have the right to take legal action against a lawyer who deliberately or accidentally lets their standards of care fall by the wayside. You can bring together evidence that emphasizes this failure, including the following:

Statements from witnesses to your mistreatment
Recordings or written statements from your time with an attorney
Video or photo footage, as relevant
Expert witness statements
Previous legal verdicts

You can learn more about the injustices that prompt our team to pursue legal malpractice cases during your free lawsuit assessment.

Injury Resulting in Damages

The word “damages” doesn’t strictly refer to physical injuries. The term “damages” can instead encompass any loss of income, reduced quality of life, or, yes, physical injuries you suffer under an attorney’s care.

You can accuse an attorney of causing you considerable damages so long as you have evidence of your losses. You must bring forward impacted pay stubs, job revocations, and relevant verdicts if you want to argue for your right to hold an attorney accountable for your losses.

We Hold Professionals Accountable for Their Negligence

Today’s attorneys are well-versed in the law, but that knowledge doesn’t give them the right to abuse their clients. What’s more, lawyers are not unimpeachable. You have the right to hold an attorney accountable for any negligence that’s harmed you or your loved ones.

The actions you take in the face of legal malpractice may see you go to court or resolve a case in private counsel. Either way, you can work with a legal malpractice attorney in Cleveland to gather the evidence needed to prove that an attorney:

Owed you a duty of care
Violated that duty through avoidable negligence
Caused you and your loved ones considerable economic harm

Considerable evidence can see a judge’s undue verdicts brought about by another attorney’s negligence. However, your legal malpractice lawsuit primarily helps you win back the financial support you need to pay your bills.

Our Efforts Can Secure You the Compensation You Need to Recover

Legal malpractice can do considerable harm to your emotional well-being – and your pocketbook. We believe you have the right to hold an offending lawyer financially accountable for losses sustained due to that lawyer’s negligence. When you file a legal malpractice lawsuit, you have the right to ask an attorney to compensate you for losses like the following:

Unreasonable legal fees
Emotional distress
Pain and suffering
Reduced quality of life
Lost wages or lost working opportunities
Any physical injuries sustained under an attorney’s care

Our team can bring together the evidence needed to emphasize your right to support based on these losses. You can trust us to maximize your request for support before defending that request in or out of court.

For the most part when you need legal representation something has not gone well. You are concerned, anxiety is up, you feel low, even frightened, and there does not seem to be a light anywhere around. Thus, I am very happy that I called CooperElliott. Much of that despair began to lift, I knew I had someone behind me, in front of me, beside me, and that I was not alone. I was treated like I had been a client for forever by everyone I was in contact with and met with. A great firm that will fight for you, and that means a great deal when you need someone who will do that with you. Thank you CooperElliott.

Through the law firm Cooper Elliott, I dealt with attorney, Bart Keyes. Bart was very thorough and understood that I Had no clue of how this process would go. Bart took the time needed to help educate me on this process for a very positive outcome.I can’t thank Bart and the staff at Cooper Elliott enough for all they have done for me. I am now able to move on with my life!

My name is Anthony Johnson and I just spoke with Ben Cooper about a wrongful accusation case, unfortunately they don't take on cases such as these but Ben gave me some valuable information and I could tell he really was trying to help me. Very knowledgeable and a great listener. Give him all call for anything law related. Made me feel important.

I worked with Adam Richards and his team. They were empathetic to my situation and extremely professional. I don't know what I would have done without their expert guidance and counsel. Adam really knows his stuff, and it was clear he had an excellent rapport with all who assisted in the case. Adam's communication abilities were next level. I never had to worry about getting ahold of him when needed. I know he and his team will continue to knock it out of the park for all future clients like they did for me.

My husband, Bob and I were injured in an automobile accident in December, 2022 when someone came through a Stop sign. We contacted Cooper Elliott, and were fortunate to work with Sean Alto and Kaela King. They came to our home several times to meet us and discuss the case, and got to know us personally as well as professionally. They really care about their clients! In addition, Michael Tonovitz stayed in contact with us to keep us informed on the progress of the case, which was resolved to our satisfaction.We highly recommend this law firm for personal injury!

I am so glad I found cooper Elliot. My attorneys Jon and Adam helped me through the entire process. After a traumatic experience in my life I was confused and in pain. They worked tirelessly to become familiar with all the details of my story and represented me in a way that made me more able to process and understand the trauma myself. This was huge for me, while there’s still healing to do, I can do that work now instead of staying in a purgatory of cognitive dissonance. They didn’t just win justice for me, they are a significant part of my healing journey. They were validating, non judgmental, honest, and knowledgeable.

Excellent firm. The firm was referred to us for a commercial dispute. Bart Keyes is a master negotiator and kept us informed at all times. Highly recommend.

Jonathan Bond handled a personal injury claim for me quickly with maximum results. He’s pleasant and enjoyable to work with, as well as compassionate. The firm handled all the legwork of getting medical records and copies of paperwork, which not all firms do. I would recommend Jonathan to anyone and would definitely go back to him if the need were to arise again.

Very satisfied! We dealt with Bart Keyes who showed genuine interest in our situation. Bart was always very quick to respond when we had questions and kept us informed throughout the case. If you need legal representation for a commercial real estate dispute we highly recommend Bart and the Cooper Elliot firm!

I honestly struggle to find the words to describe how incredible this firm is, especially Jeffrey Kenny and Sean Alto. 7 years ago, my family started a journey through a nightmare. When the criminal justice system fell woefully short, Jeff agreed to take on our incredibly challenging and lengthy case, with no other reason than that it was the right thing to do, and he believed we deserved justice. There were so many times when I would have understood if they walked away, but they refused and vowed to get us the justice we deserved, and almost 7 years later, they have given my family just that. I will never, ever, forget what they have done for us. We were never just another case. They made us feel like we were their ONLY case! Thank you will never come close to the gratitude and respect I have for Jeff and Sean, as well as for Cooper Elliott. They will be superheroes in our home, forever!

Everyone from top to bottom in this company is always polite and ready to help. and no matter what is thrown their way, it's handled quickly and skillfully. Whoever represents you will show themselves to be a master in their craft. You can feel safe working with Cooper Elliott.

I would highly recommend Cooper Elliott to any of my friends and family! Chip Cooper was extremely helpful guiding me through a difficult process. Chip was patient with me and provided feedback during the process that kept me informed until the desired outcome was achieved. There were interactions with other staff of the firm (whose names I do not know) that were helpful as well, I was impressed with the entire team!

Adam Richards is the best attorney I have ever met. He is responsive and very patient (I had a lot of questions) and he truly cares. He fought hard for me and he stands up to the bully. he is not afraid to take on anyone. Anytime I hear someone who has a legal issue I go out of my way to recommend Adam. He is unlike any attorney I have ever met. He is compassionate and he always answers his phone. There is no way I would have got the results I received with any other attorney. He was a bulldog in my case and really went to bat for me. Words cant express how grateful I am to him. His actions personally affected my life in a very positive way. He protected me in so many ways I couldn't begin to name them. It is a great feeling when you know your attorney outmatches the other party's attorney and it is obvious.
