Successful Defense of Law Firm Against Legal Malpractice Cross Claims Emerging from Underlying Litigation. Professional Liability December 31, 2018 We obtained summary judgment in a legal malpractice action in Lancaster County. We represented a law firm in the defense of legal malpractice cross-claims arising during underlying litigation. The plaintiff, an environmental consulting company, sued landowners for allegedly withholding information relevant to the clean-up of gasoline spill(s) on the landowners’ property. The landowners sued their attorneys, our clients, claiming that any liability on their part was due to malpractice committed in negotiating the contract between the landowners and the consultant. Father Changes Will; Son Files Civil Action Against Estate Attorney Professional Liability August 30, 2017 Successfully defended an attorney in his individual capacity and in his capacity as executor of an estate. The plaintiff (the decedent’s son) had a verbal agreement to move into the decedent’s (his father’s) home and provide him with care. In exchange, the decedent agreed to leave his entire estate to the plaintiff, and he did so in a Will executed in 2010. After a deteriorating relationship, in May 2013 the decedent executed a new Will that essentially left the plaintiff with nothing. Convicted Kids for Cash Attorney’s Legal Malpractice Claims Dismissed Professional Liability December 6, 2016 The plaintiff was a former attorney and county commissioner who was indicted in the Kids for Cash scandal. A federal jury convicted the plaintiff of conspiracy to commit bribery, conspiracy to commit extortion under color of official rights, extortion, conspiracy to commit money laundering and similarly-related charges. The plaintiff subsequently filed a legal malpractice action against his criminal attorneys, one of whom was our client, alleging 22 separate instances where our client purportedly breached his duty of care.Thought Leadership Pennsylvania Supreme Court Refuses to Expand Lawyer Liability Harrisburg Professional Liability Appellate Advocacy and Post-Trial Practice January 6, 2021 On December 22, 2020, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court issued an opinion in Clark v.
