Legal Malpractice

When You Have Worked With a Lawyer...

...and Something Just Doesn't Seem Right

• Did you lose a settlement because your attorney waited too long?
• Did an attorney not pursue a case you thought you could win?
• Have you worked with a lawyer and suspect he or she misused your money?

Legal malpractice can be hard to recognize. However, if you believe you have suffered a loss because of the actions of your attorney, the law office of May & Sucher can help. Please contact us online or call our West Bloomfield office at (248) 626-5555.

Berton May has extensive experience handling legal malpractice matters, and has been dealing with professional responsibility issues for 20 years. He currently is a member of the State Bar of Michigan Character and Fitness Committee and formerly sat on the State Bar of Michigan Special Committee on Attorney Grievance.  He is also a member of the Association of Professional Responsibility Lawyers.

You may be confused as to whether or not you have experienced legal malpractice, or whether you should file a lawsuit. At May & Sucher, clients come to us not knowing exactly what has happened to them - only that something doesn't seem quite right. Usually by talking over the situation, we can evaluate whether a client has a potential case that should be investigated further.

Well over half of our legal malpractice cases involve the following:

• Attorney missing a statute of limitations - When an attorney fails to take timely legal action before the clients rights are affected

• Attorney misusing funds designated for client

Most people expect that they can trust lawyers as honest business professionals who will guide us through complicated legal processes. Most of the time this is true. Most lawyers will give you their best effort and work to help you. Unfortunately, lawyers make mistakes - some intentional, some unintentional. When this happens, a legal malpractice lawyer can provide the representation individuals facing legal issues deserve. We work to re-establish your trust in the legal system.

At May & Sucher, we help clients who have experienced legal malpractice seek compensation for their damages. However uncomfortable or confusing this process may be for you, we can provide you with sound, honest advice on how to handle your situation.
