The battleground in professional negligence always turns on one question. Whether it be a claim of legal, accountancy or broker malpractice, the essential issue is the same: Did the professional comply with the standard of care? Nationally, few firms are as familiar with the terrain of this battleground than is DBMS. DBMS has expertise in defending attorneys, architects, engineers, accountants, brokers and other licensed professionals and their firms in matters spanning myriad claims of damages, both personal and financial.
