If a solicitor gave wrong advice, a client can be left feeling frustrated, let down and seriously out-of-pocket.
Disputes with professionals arising from professional negligence can be extremely distressing – and wrong advice by a solicitor can not only prejudice a case, but it can also wreck lives and businesses.
Wrong legal advice can affect any type of case – and therefore clients who have been let down by a negligent solicitor who gave wrong advice need to take an expert legal opinion from a firm of solicitors specialising in professional negligence claims, which also has access to in-house experts in the appropriate area of the law for the case.

The Legal Ombudsman can also adjudicate in cases where a solicitor is negligent and gave wrong advice but any compensation awarded may be modest.
Clients considering suing a solicitor for wrong advice have six years from the date of the event constituting negligence – or three years from the date they first realised negligence had occurred – in which to make a professional negligence claim.
Duncan Lewis understands that suing a solicitor can be a daunting prospect, especially after the trauma of a case collapsing after being given wrong advice by a solicitor.
Duncan Lewis professional negligence solicitors take a tough stance in making a claim against a negligent solicitor who has let a client down by giving wrong legal advice – and will press for maximum damages.
