California Court of Appeal

In an underlying legal malpractice action arising out of the sale of farm equipment, the trial court's grant of defendant's motion to quash service of summons is reversed where: 1) nothing in the record supports the trial court's finding that the contact was "just such a random attenuated and insufficient contact to establish specific jurisdiction"; and 2) defendant personally availed himself of the benefits of California when he reached into California to induce plaintiff's client to complete the equipment purchase.
