Professional Malpractice

California Professional Negligence and Malpractice Claims

Every day many of our business clients depend on the competence and honesty of professionals they trust to handle problems that require specialized education and skills. Sometimes a professional violates that trust through errors of omission or commission, or in their failing to disclose material facts essential to their employment. The negligence or fraud of professionals such as accountants, real estate brokers or attorneys can not only lead to the failure of an important project or initiative for your business, it can also expose you to significant civil liability or criminal penalties. If you or your business have suffered damages as a result of a professional’s misconduct or malpractice, contact Akay & Associates, an AV-rated* law firm in San Francisco, to speak with a lawyer about possible solutions to your legal matter.
