Kollross Wins Third Circuit Appeal For Legal Malpractice Defendants
Clausen Miller Appellate Practice Group Co-Chair Melinda Kollross has won affirmance from the Third Circuit Court of Appeals of summary judgment entered in favor of several legal malpractice clients. The Court’s unanimous decision upheld the clients’ victory against plaintiff’s legal malpractice, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and fraud claims. The appeal was decided on the briefs alone, without oral argument, thereby affording the clients a quicker and less costly resolution of the matter. The case was defended in the trial court by CM partner Tyler Lory.
