Clients rely on attorneys to exercise professional judgment, protect important rights, and handle legal matters with appropriate skill and care. When an attorney’s negligence or breach of professional obligations causes substantial financial or legal harm, the consequences can extend far beyond the underlying representation. Peck Baxter represents individuals and businesses in significant legal malpractice and professional negligence claims.

Our attorneys handle matters involving missed deadlines and statutes of limitation, transactional and drafting errors, conflicts of interest, failures to investigate or pursue claims, mishandled litigation, inadequate legal advice, breaches of fiduciary duty, and other professional errors. Because legal malpractice cases often require proving not only that an attorney acted improperly, but also that the client would have achieved a different result absent that conduct, these matters can involve complex “case-within-a-case” issues.

Peck Baxter brings experienced litigation and trial advocacy to evaluating and pursuing professional liability claims. We work with qualified experts when appropriate, carefully analyze the underlying matter and resulting damages, and pursue accountability and compensation when professional failures cause meaningful harm.
