While this column is broadly focused on attorney liabilities, I most often focus on legal malpractice. However, in indulging its scope, I have often written on other aspects of attorney liability, including sanctions, Dragonetti actions (i.e., wrongful use of civil proceedings), abuse of process, civil rights and defamation. While sometimes comparing and contrasting between federal and state as well as Pennsylvania and New Jersey approaches, I generally focus on Pennsylvania’s jurisprudence.

In veering even further to the outskirts of attorney liability, today’s column discusses debt collection/foreclosure attorneys’ federal statutory liabilities.
