Professional Negligence

What we do

As a society, we place tremendous trust in trained and licensed professionals such as lawyers to complete their work accurately and with integrity. Lawyers are not infallible, however, and can make costly errors with adverse consequences for their clients. When that happens, finding representation can be difficult as many lawyers are constrained by conflicts of interest when it comes to suing other lawyers.

At Swadron Associates, we offer representation in negligence and breach of trust claims against professionals, including lawyers and accountants. This area of practice often overlaps with our estate litigation practice. Our role is to recover the losses our clients have incurred, and, in the process, restore faith in the legal profession.
