In a legal malpractice lawsuit arising out of a failed real estate transaction, DK’s attorney client was retained by the buyer to act as the closing attorney/notary on the transaction. When the transaction failed, the seller sued the buyer and the closing attorney, specifically arguing that the seller was damaged by the alleged negligence of DK’s client in the performance of his duties as the closing attorney. In a Motion for Summary Judgment, Ms. Holland argued that there was no breach of duty by the DK client and demonstrated that the real estate transaction failed for reasons entirely unrelated to any duties imposed upon the closing notary. The court granted summary judgment for the DK client, dismissing with prejudice all claims of the seller against the closing notary.
