Legal Malpractice

Okemos Attorney Fighting Legal Malpractice

When someone has been taken advantage of or mistreated by a lawyer, they have the right to be angry. In many years of practice, I have seen many people harmed by the misconduct of another attorney. As an ethical lawyer, I strive to help make things right for my clients. Sometimes the only way they can recover the damages is to sue the attorney that harmed them. When that is the case, I never hesitate to take action. At the Okemos Michigan law office of Mike O’Briant; this is what makes me an effective legal malpractice lawyer.

I fight for clients who have been harmed or misled by attorneys for a variety of reasons:

• Negligence
• Breach of fiduciary duty
• Breach of contract
• Conflict of interest
• Theft of funds
• Missing a filing deadline or statute of limitations
• Missing a statute that impacts your case
• Over billing or billing for unnecessary work
• Breaking attorney-client privilege
• Criminal legal malpractice

Honest and Ethical Lawyer Who Holds Other Lawyers Accountable

I work honestly and ethically for my clients. In 20 years, I have never had a grievance filed against me. I have been given an A-Rating: the highest possible rating by the judges of Ingham County for the quality of my work and ethical standards. As an honest lawyer, I firmly believe in communication. Accessible to you 24 hours a day, I will always keep you informed about every detail of the process. You will always see all of the documents I file with the court. We will work together to go after that lawyer that did you wrong.

Many attorneys do not want to bring suits against other lawyers, but I believe firmly in upholding the legal standard of the courts. I believe that attorneys are meant to serve you and when they do not—when they do something wrong—they must be held accountable.
