Breach of Trust
Lawyers, doctors, dentists, psychiatrists and other professionals are held to a high standard. They need to be diligent and always looking out for the best interests of their clients or patients. When they fail to be diligent, fail to make the observations they are required to make or intentionally breach their duties, it can cause serious financial damage to the victims.
