Elizabeth Roumbos, Appellant (plaintiff) v. Samuel G. Vazanellis & Thiros and Stracci, Pc, Appellees (defendants).

Summary

The court held that the law firm was not entitled to summary judgment on the client's legal-malpractice claim because it failed to establish that she could not have prevailed in the underlying premises-liability action. The designated evidence created a genuine issue of material fact whether the wires or telephone cord were an obvious danger to a reasonable person in the client's position. The court reversed and remanded for further proceedings.
