Free Case Review
Professionalism is the Word
I highly Recommend Gibson & Perkins. I have used their services for approximately 6 years now and been through a few cases together with very positive outcomes. Personally, I have used Paul Fellman and Walter Timby on those occasions. Both, as a team & separately these Attorneys were wonderful to work with and easily accessible to reach if I had any questions. Professionalism is the word that comes to mind to describe the firm, as a whole. Always completely prepared for any surprises that may pop up during a trial. They were well versed on all pertinent info pertaining to each case. As I client, I always felt I was an integral part of the team, not an after-thought, that had to be brought up to speed a half hour before the trial started. I could not recommend this firm and Mr. Fellman and Mr. Timby any higher.
Very Satisfied
I hired Paul Fellman after speeking to several different lawyers from different law firms because he was the most sincere. Paul did an excellent job on my landlord tenant issue I had on my rental property. He was there for me from the beginning to the end of the whole ordeal. I was very satisfied and I highly recommend him and his firm.
Accounting Malpractice
Accounting malpractice is technical and complex. Because it can be complicated to search financial documentation to identify the error, it’s important to have an attorney who specializes in accounting malpractice cases. Accounting malpractice is often the result of an accountant not providing services that are up to one of two financial standards: GAAS or GAAP. Our Accounting Malpractice Attorneys bring a unique skill set to the table – two of our Attorneys are also CPAs. In addition, five hold advanced law degrees in Taxation, one is a former IRS Agent, and one is a former Adjunct Professor in the Graduate Tax Program of the Villanova Law School.
The numerous variations of accounting malpractice include but are not limited to:
-
The use of this form for communication does not establish an attorney-client relationship.
-
Giving you inaccurate tax guidance
-
Errors in accounts receivable
-
Making mistakes when auditing your financial statements, including not finding misappropriations
-
Improperly kept financial books
-
Giving you bad advice on accounting matters
-
License fraud
-
Incorrect guidance on estate planning
-
Outright fraud, which may relate to securities, tax investments, or CPA licensure
Winning a case against an accountant who has damaged you or your business is complicated. The challenge stems from the need to prove the following four connected facts:
-
The accountant had a duty of reasonable care in providing accounting services
-
There was a breach of this duty through either failure to provide services at the skill level considered standard for accounting practices, negligence, or misrepresentation
-
Your business was injured because of the breach of your accountant’s duty of care, negligence, or misrepresentation
-
Your business suffered a loss
-
The loss your business suffered was due to the negligence, misrepresentation, or breach of duty of care by your accountant
What to Do If You’ve Been the Victim of Accounting Malpractice
It’s important to get a claim started as soon as possible if you’ve suffered because of accounting malpractice. The statute of limitations on filing a claim is strict, and the clock starts as soon as you realize you’ve been harmed. Give your attorney as much time as possible to arrange for experts that will connect the injury of your business to the misrepresentation, negligence, or breach of duty of your accountant. Call us as soon as possible.
