Legal Question in Legal Malpractice in New York

Re: legal malpractice

Typically, an appellate court may only consider matters in the record, i.e. admitted into evidence during the proceedings below. Therefore, in all likelihood, it will not be possible to put the pertinent information you refer to before the appellate court. With regard to suing your former attorney for legal malpractice, you obviously would need to retain new counsel and commence a suit alleging negligence and seeking damages. I would be happy to discuss this with you further. You may email me directly at [email protected] or call me at (212) 973-0839.
