When you receive advice or a service from a professional such as a solicitor or financial adviser, you expect it to be of a certain standard. If the service you receive falls below this standard, and you experience damage or a loss as a result, then you may be able to claim for professional negligence.
At Burt Brill & Cardens, we can act for you to claim against the following:
- Accountants
- Architects & Planning Consultants
- Estate agents, surveyors & valuers
- Financial advisors
- Insurance brokers
- Solicitors & barristers
One of the more common forms of professional negligence is solicitor negligence, with clients wanting to sue a solicitor after something goes wrong. In legal matters, a solicitor or barrister can provide poor legal advice that causes you loss or damage. Solicitor negligence cases can involve them missing deadlines, not following your instructions correctly, and making mistakes in legal documents.
If you think you have experienced solicitor negligence then our solicitors can help.
