- If money was taken, your state's client protection fund may reimburse you, alongside any claim.
- Deadlines are short. Some states allow only one year. Check yours.
Common questions.
What happens after I submit?
Your answers go to an independent attorney or law firm that handles legal malpractice claims in your state. If your situation fits what they take on, they contact you directly, usually within one to two business days.
How much does this cost?
The case review is free. Many attorneys who represent clients in malpractice claims work on contingency, meaning no upfront fee and payment only from a recovery. Each firm explains its own terms before you sign anything.
Do I have to hire the lawyer who contacts me?
No. You are never obligated to hire anyone. An attorney-client relationship exists only if you sign a written agreement with a firm.
Will my old lawyer find out?
Not from us. Your information goes only to the participating attorney or firm reviewing your situation, as described in our privacy policy. Whether and when to contact your former lawyer is something to decide with your new attorney.
Is SueMyLawyer.org a law firm?
No. We are an attorney advertising and case connection service. We do not give legal advice, do not evaluate the merits of claims, and do not recommend any particular lawyer.
