How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that a client's allegation that attorney had neglected to keep client informed, without more, lacks specificity as well as a causative relationship to client's alleged loss and is insufficient to state cause of action for legal malpractice
• attorney's contractual interpretations are not actionable in professional negligence simply because a court rules against client so long as attorney exercised judgment, good faith, and reasonable skill
• a lawyer who is employed to render advice as to a contract and who, without reading the contract, renders advice which might have been given by a lawyer who read the contract is not necessarily shielded from liability for malpractice
• \A lawyer does not guarantee the efficacy of his advice.\
