Anyone have a recommendation for a legal malpractice attorney in Raleigh, Durham, or Chapel Hill, maybe surrounding counties but practice in Wake/Durham Co.?
I've done searches, and have a few names, but I'm hoping some of you out there have had actual experiences with Triangle attorneys that sue other attorney's for legal malpractice.
Also could use a reference for an attorney that sues municipalities and their organizations.
I think I'd start with a google search for "Raleigh sued" or "Raleigh settles lawsuit", etc and the various cities around here.
As to lawyer vs lawyer, it looks like the "personal injury" attorneys do more of this than "everyday" attorneys do. Especially if the potentially at-fault attorney works for a well-known firm.
Do you care to generally describe your issues, since it sounds like you have 1 with an attorney, and a different one with some municipality?
I've got a few names through searches, however, I was hoping people had personal experience of suing for malpractice in and around the Triangle.
I've been searching - "malpractice law" and similar. This was more about finding possible "word of mouth" experience with attorneys in the area that handle legal malpractice cases.

Thank you in advance.
I think your first major hurdle will be finding an attorney willing to take your case and you may end up talking to several attorneys. Up front legal fees can get expensive, but a lot depends on the specifics of your case and whether the attorney feels they have a case that could win in court. Wanting to sue someone is usually much simpler than actually doing it

Thanks for the reply.
I've already talked to attorneys that don't handle malpractice and they told me what happened was malpractice. I know the definition of malpractice for the State of NC. There are other easy pieces to the whole thing. Proof is always a nice thing.

I've dealt with enough attorneys in my career to know most don't know anything outside their practice area. I also know they are loathe to sue other attorneys.

Yes. The OP is fighting an uphill battle for sure. Perhaps a complaint with the NC Bar would be a better option. They will investigate the complaint, and pursue action if warranted.
BTW, my wife is an attorney and I have had similar situations arise over the years. She always recommended that I report the situation to the NC Bar Association if it seemed to be a legitimate complaint. Most lawyers will not sue other lawyers. It’s too messy. Plus, most state and local municipalities have governmental immunity.

I meant to say "NC State Bar", which is different than the NC Bar Association. The State Bar has power to investigate and pursue punitive action if it is warranted.
Thought I would bump this thread instead of creating a new one. Does anyone have a personal recommendation for an employment attorney who specializes in severance agreements? I've found a few online but was hoping someone had a referral here and to find out how reasonable their rates are. thanks.
