When we began the practice of legal malpractice, it was a logical extension of our years of practice in personal injury, fighting for our clients who have been hurt and who are deserving of compensation. We at Stanfield Bechtel Law have decades of experience in representing plaintiffs in personal injury matters of all kinds: motor vehicle collisions, trucking accidents, pedestrian accidents, fatalities, slip and falls, dog bits, nursing home injuries and many, many more types of personal injury. We have practiced in every superior court in Connecticut and we have also taken cases to our Connecticut Appellate and Supreme Courts and won. We have fought for our clients and we have made law here in Connecticut for our clients who have been hurt. We have also successfully settled many, many cases because the insurance companies know of our experience with personal injury.
So we thought it was only fitting to expand our personal injury practice to include legal malpractice, going after lawyers who have in some way hurt or damaged their client. We have represented these clients in an area that few attorneys want to battle and we have obtained very large amounts of compensation for these clients. Our favorite things to do are doing the right thing and succeeding for a client who needs and deserves compensation.
We sue lawyers. All kinds of lawyers. Personal injury lawyers. Business lawyers. Land use lawyers. Medical malpractice lawyers. Real estate lawyers. Probate lawyers. Tariff lawyers. Contract lawyers. Immigration lawyers. We sue lawyers because lawyers make mistakes and when they do, it costs clients the compensation they were due and owing. When lawyers commit malpractice it often costs the client in additional fees and expenses. Not every mistake your lawyers makes is malpractice, but we can review your circumstance and help you determine if your lawyer has committed malpractice. Not every malpractice is worth pursuing, but if the damages are significant enough, then it is worth a conversation. If you think your lawyer caused you significant damages, call us.
So when you see that we do legal malpractice, please know that this area of practice is very symbiotic and has its roots in our experience and ongoing practice of personal injury, fighting for victims of collisions and other negligence who sustain injuries and need and deserve compensation.
