"The Strong Arm" Attorney and Legal Malpractice

By (Andrew Lavoott Bluestone)

ADVERTISEMENTS

This short news article is probably wrong on several counts of its report, but the story itself is compelling.  Client goes to a personal injury attorney Frank "The Strong Arm" Azar  with a car accident case and then the case is settled for $ 25,000.  Did he do a good enough job?  Must he "strong arm" the opponent to avoid legal malpractice?  The client successfully sued for $ 145,000.

"The lawsuit was brought by 40-year-old Shawna Jimenez of Colorado Springs, who says she was injured in a car crash in 2004. She says she was pressured take a settlement of $25,000. El Paso County jurors acquitted Azar's firm and one of his attorneys of theft and false advertising but found them guilty of negligence and misrepresentation. Azar says he will appeal."
