who to go to with a legal malpractice claim

I have worked on several cases with John Allan over the past fifteen years, initially on an appeal in the United States Court of Appeals, which we won, and then as an expert witness in legal malpractice cases, an area in which he has developed a high degree of skill, experience, and expertise. Jo...hn has shown good judgment in realistically evaluating cases, only taking those cases with real potential, attention to detail, organization of the file, his time, and available resources. I have seen him show care and concern for his clients while maintaining control of the case and the client in a professional manner. Because of the complex, intricate, and intense nature of legal malpractice cases and their past dissatisfaction with the legal system and their legal representaion, leagal malpractice clients can be difficult to please. John Allan is the best lawyer I have encountered at accomplishing that task. I have come to value his insight and instincts and often ask his advice on a variety of matters, including reviewing cases before I take them. He once found a medical expert for me on a case where I had all but given up hope of finding the expert I needed. John is a skilled and accomplished lawyer and I would highly recommend any lawyer or individual with a valid legal malpractice claim consult with and choose John Allan to represent them.
