Law Firm: The Law Office of Burns & Jain

Legal malpractice is when a lawyer breaches his or her professional duty to the client. Burns & Jain has represented hundreds of victims of legal malpractice in Massachusetts since 1985.

Legal Malpractice cases range from an attorney failing to file suit on time so there was never a case, neglecting a lawsuit so the client loses, failing to file responses to discovery resulting in an outright dismissal, failing to properly discover assets in a divorce leaving the client unfairly compensated, filing for the wrong immigration status resulting in loss status, failing to file a Homestead in a bankruptcy so a “fresh start” is not secured, failing to understand criminal defense rules resulting in incarceration and many other causes of neglect.
