About Legal Malpractice Litigation

Legal malpractice cases are typically complex, because they can touch on any area of the law and on any industry involving a lawyer or law firm. They are usually multi-layered because they almost always involve an underlying business transaction or lawsuit. Not only must a court or a jury decide whether a lawyer acted improperly, they also must decide whether the plaintiff was harmed, which means analyzing the underlying transaction or lawsuit as well. Legal malpractice, in other words, is two cases in one.

Our Legal Malpractice Publications

In addition to our hands-on experience, our attorneys are also authorities on legal malpractice and a resource for other attorneys. Mr. Mihm has for many years served as the Managing Editor of Lawyers’ Professional Liability in Colorado, a 2-volume, 1,500 page treatise on legal ethics and lawyers’ professional liability law. Nearly all of Ogborn Mihm’s trial lawyers have contributed chapters. Our lawyers also routinely teach and write on legal malpractice and professional ethics matters.

Our Professional Liability Litigation Fee Arrangements

We represent clients in legal malpractice cases on an hourly fee basis, a contingent fee basis, or a mixed hourly and contingent fee basis (sometimes called “hybrid” fees). We also analyze potential legal malpractice claims on a flat fee or “do not exceed” basis.

Our Work with In-House and Outside Counsel

We routinely consult with prospective clients’ outside counsel or in-house counsel about potential legal malpractice litigation. Indeed, most of our referrals are from other attorneys. If you represent a client you believe has been the victim of legal malpractice and wish to consult on the matter, please call us. We’ll be happy to talk to you about how we can help.
