Tarkanian Costs Client their Business, Sued for Malpractice
In what can be described as a rare and extreme measure by the courts, professional politician Danny Tarkanian has been successfully sued for legal malpractice after applying for and obtaining the wrong permits for a client in the wrong jurisdiction, costing the client their business and their investment.
The client spent nearly $240,000 setting up a business that had to be closed shortly after it opened.
When Tarkanian discovered he’d made the error that would cost his client their business, he decided to hide it while continuing to charge his client for other legal work.
His incompetence cost the client their livelihood. Tarkanian was forced to pay his former client $35,000 for his malpractice.
When confronted with the story, Tarkanian, called the issue a “nuisance.” His professional failure cost a Nevadan his business and livelihood and Tarkanian considers the transgression a personal nuisance to him.
