Northern California Negligence Lawyers
If you hired an attorney to help you resolve a legal problem, but your attorney failed to live up to the standards of the practice, and you suffered loss, you may be uncertain how to begin to seek recovery for any damages. Taking legal action against an attorney for legal malpractice is not for the inexperienced or unqualified attorney. A lawyer facing legal malpractice will fight back at all costs. You want a lawyer who is not afraid to hold other members of the bar accountable for their negligence or carelessness, someone who has successfully protected other victims of legal malpractice.
At the offices of Rummonds & Barron, we bring more than 100 years of collective experience to people in California who have suffered loss because of legal negligence. We offer substantial trial experience, having taken more than 150 cases to verdict.
Attorney James Rummonds is one of only a handful of attorneys in California who is Board Certified in Legal Negligence by the American Board of Professional Liability (ABPL). He is also Board Certified by the California State Bar's Board of Legal Specialization and as a Civil Trial Specialist by the National Board of Trial Advocacy (NBTA). Mr. Rummonds has been named as a Northern California Super Lawyer for the years 2007, 2008 and 2010.
Gerald V. Barron is Of Counsel to Rummonds & Barron.
