Legal Malpractice
I am inquiring to see how much validity we have
against a lawyer who misrepresented himself
during contract negotiations. When I signed on
with my present employer, I sat down with my
employer and a lawyer who stated that he was
representing the shareholders of this PC. I
thought he was representing my best interests
since I was signing on as a shareholder. Now I
am in the middle of a contract dispute, and have
been told by my present lawyer that this lawyer
acted unethically in representing both myself and
my employer. For the entire term of my
employment, this lawyer has sent various items
marked ''confidential'' and has acted on my behalf.
I never signed a disclaimer, nor did this lawyer
indicate that he was representing the owner and
that I should seek independent counsel for
myself. Do we have a case?
