Book excerpt: Clients who lost a case because of a procedural requirement mismanaged by their attorney, lawyers and paralegals attempting to assist a client wronged by an attorney, legal scholars, educators, and analysts of the law all may find value in this unique legal reference. The author spent three years researching the issue of attorney malpractice and the legal recourses a client has when an attorney abandons the client and destroys a client's civil case. What is unique about this text is that not only are legal statutes and caselaw presented and analyzed, but the complete casefilings of an example case, from trial court ruling through the court of appeals, and finally petitions for hearing by both the California Supreme Court and the U.S. Supreme Court, all are included for reference. So the reader can see exactly how the subject was argued in briefs and supported by caselaw. Attorney error statutes, malpractice lawsuits, and disbaring an attorney are also covered in detail.When attorney misconduct detrimental to the attorney's own client is the issue, the theory and reality of the matter, what courts should do, and what they actually do, are disturbingly different. Any person concerned with this subject will benefit from the material of this book, and may use the material to navigate this maze toward a better solution for themselves than the author's case received. Educators, scholars and legal writers may also benefit from this detailed examination of the issue of attorney betrayal and abandonment of the client, by comparing the theory and the reality of one example case.
