Join JAMS neutrals Hon. Christine Byrd (Ret.) and Edith Matthai, Esq. for their panel "How to avoid family law malpractice claims and what to do if a claim is made against you."
This program will cover the intersection of family law cases and the prevention and defense of malpractice claims. The esteemed panel will cover ethical obligations for lawyers, the most common behaviors that turn into malpractice claims in family law cases, what can be done to avoid those claims, what an attorney should do when a client does threaten or make a malpractice claim, and how to navigate issues with the attorney’s insurance carrier.
