Legal Malpractice Case Studies

Blumberg Law is a recognized authority in the field of legal malpractice. John Blumberg has defended and prosecuted over 100 legal malpractice cases. He is consulted and retained by other lawyers to act as an expert witness regarding whether an attorney did or didn't commit malpractice. He has lectured frequently and published numerous articles on the subject. These are selected examples of some of the cases we’ve handled.

Bankruptcy Advice: Our client's former attorneys gave him incorrect advice regarding a bankruptcy, resulting in a nearly total liquidation of his assets instead of the opportunity to reorganize his debts. Their insurance company settled the case for over $800,000.

Malicious Prosecution: When the will of one of the Marx Brothers was contested without evidence to support the claims, we defeated the will contest and obtained a substantial jury verdict against the lawyers who filed the lawsuit.

Court Documents: Our client retained a law firm to represent her family after her husband died from long-time exposure to toxic substances. The attorneys negligently drafted the complaint, resulting in the dismissal of the case. We recovered a settlement of $725,000.

Statute of Limitations: We’ve recovered financial compensation in numerous cases where the former attorney failed to file the lawsuit on time.

Contracts: Our client, a medical device inventor, recovered damages from his former attorney who didn’t properly draft an agreement to sell the device to a major corporation.
