The statute of limitations is a deadline established by law by which time you must file a legal malpractice claim or be forever barred from doing so. Most limitations period are from one to three years.

So, if you hired a lawyer and you just discovered that he/she failed to file a lawsuit with the court before the legal deadline, your claim is over. You now have one year from the date you discovered your lawyer’s failure to file a legal malpractice action against him/her. What’s your next move?

You call James at the Traut Firm. James will handle an action for legal malpractice case for the firm. This type of case is a slam-dunk. It is the equivalent of a rear-end vehicle collision. The only issue in dispute is usually just the value of your lost claim and perhaps fees and costs.
