Johnson's Legal Malpractice Law in a Nutshell

by Vincent R. Johnson

The initial chapters focus on key legal principles (such as professional negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and fraud), the role of experts in malpractice litigation, important defenses, and the rules governing damages and fee forfeiture. Later chapters explore issues of great practical significance, including the vicarious liability law firms, common malpractice problems (such as conflict of interest), strategies for reducing errors and claims, and the role and limits of malpractice insurance.

Good legal references for malpractice rulings

Wish it gave a legal form for the filing of malpractice pro se for those of us whose attorneys took full advantage and did no good, but caused more harm to your case.
