As part of this ongoing dedication, Patrick has become particularly adept at holding his peers in the legal community accountable for legal malpractice. If your case has been mishandled by an attorney you wish you had not put your faith and trust in, he may be able to help.

He also represents those clients whose lawyers have breached their fiduciary duties to their clients, by representing themselves to be competent in handling a certain type of legal problem when, in fact, they were not. These attorneys may have missed the statute of limitations deadline or ignored a conflict of interest. These matters include recovering against attorneys unfit for estate planning who have given incompetent advice and business lawyers who have negligently drafted antenuptial agreements.

Patrick’s knowledge of professional malpractice matters includes a command of accounting malpractice. Clients particularly find themselves victimized in accounting matters as a result of professionally incompetent advice as well as a result of outright accounting fraud, among other situations. Patrick O’Neill, Jr. brings the knowledge clients need as well as a developed network of professionals and experts necessary to properly build these cases.
