How courts have described this case

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

• in order to establish proximate cause in legal malpractice case, plaintiff must show that but for attorney’s negligence, he would have won lawsuit
• although the first attorney’s failure to timely effect service on the proper parties may have been a cause in fact of subsequent attorneys’ decision to accept a settlement, the first attorney’s negligence was “too remote to satisfy the proximate cause requirement for a legal malpractice claim”
