The trial court erred when it granted the defendants' motion for judgment on the pleadings on the plaintiff's claim for legal malpractice brought in her individual capacity. The trial court also abused its discretion in denying the plaintiff's motion to amend her complaints. The plaintiff's first and second amended complaints contained allegations to establish that an attorney-client relationship existed between her and the attorney, not just between the attorney and her husband pursuant to a power of attorney.
