Professional Negligence

Michigan Professional Negligence and Legal Malpractice

At one time or another, most families and businesses will find themselves dependent on the skill and integrity of a licensed professional in any of a number of highly regulated fields — law, real estate, psychological counseling or accounting. If negligence, malpractice or dishonesty by a professional has caused serious trouble for you, your family or your business, learn about your legal options for compensation. Contact the Southfield office of Frank K. Rhodes III, Esq. for a free consultation.

We represent clients who need help with recovering their losses at the hands of a professional who has let them down. Examples of the kinds of malpractice or negligence we handle are an attorney's failure to meet a legal deadline in filing a claim, a real estate broker's negligent failure to disclose a conflict of interest or an accountant's dishonesty in maintaining the financial records of a business. We handle claims of negligence, malpractice or fraud against individuals and firms engaged in such fields as the following:

• Law
• Accounting
• Real estate
• Psychology or therapeutic counseling
• Architecture
• Home appraisal
• Mortgage finance

In any case of professional negligence or legal malpractice, we work closely with licensed practitioners from the field involved to determine whether an unfortunate outcome could have been avoided through better compliance with professional standards, and whether a reasonable professional in that field would not have made that particular mistake.
