Can I sue a lawyer if he or she was not my lawyer but the work was done for my benefit
In some circumstances, yes. For example, if you were the intended beneficiary of a will that was drafted by a lawyer, and due to the lawyer's error you did not receive what the testator (the person whose will it was) wanted you to receive, you may have a claim against the negligent lawyer. In other cases, it is sometimes not necessarily clear for whom the lawyer was working, as for example in a real estate closing. (In many cases, the closing attorney is considered to be working for the mortgage lender, not the buyer or seller.) Each situation must be evaluated on a case by case basis.
