Practice Areas - Legal Malpractice Defense

Wolpe Leibowitz & Fernandez, L.L.P. has been providing aggressive representation to attorneys in professional liability litigation for more than a decade. We have substantial experience in all aspects of legal malpractice claims. We routinely provide legal advice to our clients in the handling of incidents in order to prevent such incidents from maturing into claims. Aggressive advocacy at the pre-suit stage has resulted in the abandonment of weak claims against our clients. All new cases are evaluated immediately and a proposed defense plan is submitted to our clients and their carriers.  Through early evaluation of duty, liability, causation and damages issues, we identify potential summary judgment issues, expedite targeted discovery and file summary judgment motions without delay. This strategy enables us to achieve the best results in the most efficient and cost effective manner.

The unique “case within a case” aspect of legal malpractice requires that defense counsel become thoroughly familiar with a broad range of areas of the law. We have defended legal malpractice claims predicated on specialized and technical areas such as corporate commercial transactions, securities transactions, real estate transactions, family law, bankruptcy law, and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.

We are proud of the reputation that we have developed in the South Florida and Southwest Florida legal communities. Our clients receive close personal attention, and their input into their defense is encouraged. This involvement creates excellent working relationships with our clients, who are our most valuable resources. Working together as a team with the claims professional and the insured, our firm prides itself in formulating and executing the best litigation plan for each particular claim. The firm considers it a privilege and honor to be entrusted with important client matters.
