California Court of Appeal

LOMBARDO v. HUYSENTRUYT, A092345

In a legal malpractice case, an allegation that the attorney's breach of duty caused the court to foreseeably misapply a rule of law states a claim for malpractice, and the court's error does not necessarily constitute a superseding cause.
