Indianapolis Legal Malpractice Law Firm - Price Waicukauski & Riley, LLC

If you have suffered financial loss due to the negligence of your attorney, you may have a claim for legal malpractice.  Proving legal malpractice can be complex and many firms shy away from this type of work.
Legal malpractice occurs when an attorney's conduct falls below the standard of care to be expected of a lawyer, causing damage to the client.  Examples of Legal Malpractice include:
  • When a lawyer fails to file a claim within the applicable statute of limitation.
  • When a lawyer fails to meet a deadline that causes a client's case to be dismissed.
  • When a lawyer makes a serious mistake when writing a contract or a will that results in a loss to the client.
  •    It is not legal malpractice just because a client loses a case.  There must be evidence that the lawyer handled a matter so poorly as to fall below the standard expected of a lawyer.
Price Waicukauski & Riley Law is an Indiana based legal malpractice firm with extensive experience litigating claims throughout Indiana. Their attorneys believe their clients should be given the attention they deserve and that all cases be handled by skilled professionals.

2 men sentenced in Palin lawyer harassment case

Two Pennsylvania men convicted of harassing Sarah Palin's Alaska lawyers were sentenced Friday to time served and five years' probation, with the proceedings briefly halted after a short outburst in court by one of the defendants.
During his sentencing in U.S. District Court in Anchorage, 20-year-old Shawn Christy said the judge's order that he live up to six months in a Pennsylvania community re-entry program was "ridiculous."
His father, Craig Christy, 48, was ordered to perform community service.
The Christys, of McAdoo, Pa., pleaded guilty in January to making harassing phone calls to Palin's attorneys. Attorney John Tiemessen testified that the men's calls threatened Palin and attorneys. Both Christys apologized Friday for their actions.
Shawn Christy was released and sent back to Pennsylvania last month after an evaluation report said he wasn't a danger to the public.
