This short news article is probably wrong on several counts of its report, but the story itself is compelling.  Client goes to a personal injury attorney Frank "The Strong Arm" Azar  with a car accident case and then the case is settled for $ 25,000.  Did he do a good enough job?  Must he "strong arm" the opponent to avoid legal malpractice?  The client successfully sued for $ 145,000.

"The lawsuit was brought by 40-year-old Shawna Jimenez of Colorado Springs, who says she was injured in a car crash in 2004. She says she was pressured take a settlement of $25,000. El Paso County jurors acquitted Azar’s firm and one of his attorneys of theft and false advertising but found them guilty of negligence and misrepresentation. Azar says he will appeal."
