Warren Norred sounds reluctant when he talks about the professional-malpractice case he recently filed in a Tarrant County district court. That’s because Norred is a bankruptcy lawyer, and his clients are suing two bankruptcy lawyers and their former firm, alleging professional malpractice a cause of action that’s rare in his practice area, he says.
“One of the reasons you don’t see a lot of malpractice [litigation]in bankruptcy is: It’s a very guild-oriented practice. Whenever you’re suing somebody that’s inside the guild, it’s not pleasant,” says Norred, an Arlington solo. “That may not bother a lot of litigators, but it bothers us a lot who practice together and help each other.”
