Understanding the Legal Malpractice Process in New Jersey

Pursuing a legal malpractice claim in New Jersey involves a structured and evidence-driven process. Here's how it works:

• Establish an Attorney-Client Relationship: The first step is proving that a formal relationship existed between the client and the attorney, creating a duty of care.
• Demonstrate a Breach of Duty: The plaintiff must show that the attorney acted negligently, breached a contract, or violated fiduciary responsibilities.
• Prove Harm Was Caused: It's essential to link the attorney’s misconduct directly to a financial loss or negative legal outcome.
• File a Formal Complaint: The legal process begins by submitting a complaint in civil court outlining the malpractice claim.
• Submit an Affidavit of Merit: New Jersey law requires a statement from another licensed attorney confirming that malpractice likely occurred. This must be filed within 60 days of the defendant’s response.
• Gather Expert Testimony: Qualified legal experts are needed to explain how the attorney’s actions deviated from accepted standards.
• Proceed Through Discovery: Both sides exchange evidence and conduct depositions to build their cases.
• Trial or Settlement: If a resolution isn’t reached through settlement, the case moves to trial where damages may be awarded.
