AN ESTABLISHED AND TRUSTED LEGAL RESOURCE IN EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA

Our professional negligence practice is led by a former state bar president. And with almost a century of service to individuals and businesses in Goldsboro and beyond, our firm is highly regarded for our ethical service and representation.

At Dees, Smith, Powell, Jarrett, Dees & Jones, LLP, we understand the rights and responsibilities of North Carolina lawyers. We have seen all types of lawsuits destroyed by attorney’s negligence and abuse of power. We recognize the signs of malpractice, and we are prepared to handle legal malpractice cases involving:

• Negligence: There is a basic standard of service and legal action to be expected in every case. If your lawyer did not provide you with this level of care, it may constitute negligence and be considered malpractice.
• Breach of fiduciary duty: Your lawyer is legally obliged to act in your best interest. It is considered a breach of fiduciary duty when lawyers act in their own best interest instead of the best interests of their clients.
• Breach of contract: There is a contract outlining every relationship between a lawyer and a client. If a lawyer fails to live up to the obligations of the contract, it is considered a breach of contract, a form of legal malpractice.
