- Real estate malpractice: Real estate agents, real estate brokers and others in the real estate industry have a fiduciary duty to their clients. When this responsibility is overlooked, serious financial hardships can fall upon unsuspecting homeowners.
- Accounting malpractice: If your accountant has not acted in your best interest or has acted inappropriately with your money, you may be able to take legal action.
