- W239281194 abstract "Writing in April newsletter of Professional Errors and Omissions Committee, George W. Spellmire and Denise A. Johnson of D'Ancona & Pflaum, Chicago, discuss changes in legal malpractice landscape: Traditionally, within doctrine applied in legal malpractice cases has been a formidable obstacle to claimants and final stronghold lawyer-defendant. While not based on a scientific survey, experience has shown that for rule and case within case doctrine, which focuses on legal and factual validity of claimant's underlying rights, have been most effective legal concept in defense of actions against attorneys. This is true whether underlying matter involved transactions or litigation. However, in recent years, problem of former clients claiming that their attorneys engaged in negligent settlements has increased, decreasing effect of for rule by shifting burden of proof to attorney-defendants. Courts also have decreased impact of but rule and case within case doctrine in other ways. They have accepted claims negligent settlement, negligent settlement negotiation, and even negligent business/ transaction negotiation as stating causes of action against lawyers. The judicial acceptance of negligent settlement/negotiation circumvents requirement that client, in fact, lost a subsisting right, whether in litigation or transactional context. See Campbell v. Magana, 8 Cal.Rptr. 32 (Cal.App. 1960). For example, in Scognamillo v. Olsen, 795 P.2d 1357 (Colo. App. 1990), former clients charged defense counsel with impermissibly representing conflicting interests. At trial, court allowed plaintiffs to introduce expert testimony regarding what a reasonable client would have done under particular circumstances confronting plaintiffs, and that, had plaintiffs had separate counsel, they would have settled. The court stated: Defendants next argue that trial court abused its discretion in allowing plaintiffs' expert to testify that plaintiffs would have settled if represented in Alling trial by separate counsel. We disagree. [Colorado Rule of Evidence] 702 permits expert testimony if scientific, technical, or other specialized knowledge will assist trier of fact to understand evidence or to determine a fact in issue. The basis admissibility under CRE 702 is, thus, not that witness possesses skill in a particular field, but that the witness can offer assistance on a matter not within knowledge or common experience of people or ordinary intelligence. McNelly v. Smith, 149 Colo. 177, 368 P.2d 555 (1962). Here, both plaintiffs' experts opined that Alling case would have been settled without trial if Volger, Scognamillo, and Faircloth had been represented by separate counsel. Whether to accept a settlement offer is ultimately decision of client. The expert's opinions in this regard focus, therefore, on what a reasonable client would have done under particular circumstances confronting plaintiffs. Based on record here, long experience of experts relative to client settlement decisions entitled them to opine on this issue, and there was thus no error in receiving their testimony in this regard. In addition, in Wood v. McGrath, North, Mullin & Kratz, 581 N.W.2d 107 (Neb. App. 1998), expert testimony was allowed as to likely outcome of litigation. The Nebraska Court of Appeals stated: The law states generally that an expert may testify about a reasonable and probable outcome at trial. McWhirt v. Heavey, 250 Neb. 536, 550 N.W.2d 327 (1996). See, generally, McLeod v. Fechtel, 821 F.2d 1388 (9th Cir. 1987); Reed v. Mitchell & Timbanard, P.C., 183 Ariz. …" @default.
