Karen Garcia, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Kozlov, Seaton, Romanini & Brooks, P.C., and Elizabeth L. Sylvester, Esq…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division, holding that a trial court has discretion to choose the procedural mode—whether a suit‑within‑a‑suit, a modified version, or expert testimony—to prove legal malpractice, and that the invited error doctrine does not bar a new trial. The case was remanded for further proceedings.
