Lawyer Not Required to Disclose Dissatisfied Client to Insurer
James River Ins. Co. v. Hebert Schenk, P.C., 523 F.3d 915 (9th Cir. 2008)
Brief Summary
Attorney’s failure to disclose a dissatisfied client in an insurance application was not sufficient to support summary judgment declaration that insurer could deny coverage of client’s later malpractice claim because a reasonable person could find that attorney did not expect the client to sue.
