Re: Legal Malpractice Claim
Dear [Attorney’s Name],
I am writing to formally demand compensation for the legal malpractice you committed while representing me. During your representation, you failed to create a strategy for my case, missed crucial deadlines, and delayed depositions until just three weeks before the trial, preventing follow-ups on responses.
You relied on outdated interrogatories and did not conduct a financial investigation throughout the *.5 years of your representation. Additionally, you misrepresented your trial and CIR experience.
Despite providing you with over five witness letters attesting to my character and my relationship with Josh, you failed to introduce these witnesses. You also neglected to present evidence showing my financial contributions to the household, including childcare and groceries, and my education expenses, which were covered by school grants, not Josh.
You advised me not to worry about billings while I paid your mentor, a personal injury attorney, to litigate the case due to your incompetence. This cost me an additional $*,*. During the trial, you acted as an assistant to your mentorbut billed me up to * hours daily for your services. You even sent me a bill after the trial, which was later retracted after your mentor intervened.
During our last phone call, you expressed concerns about potential repercussions, indicating your awareness of your inadequate and unprofessional representation. I believe that if the case had been properly managed, we would have proven a CIR existed, entitling me to a share of the community property acquired during my *-year relationship.
Therefore, I demand compensation for the additional legal fees incurred, the financial contributions not recognized, and the emotional distress caused by your negligence. I hope to resolve this matter amicably and request a response within 14 days.
Sincerely,
[Your Full Name]
