Description

In this legal malpractice action against defendant, Holland and Hart, plaintiffs, John H. Roberts, Jr., and RISCOR, Inc., appeal from a partial summary judgment dismissing their claim for lost profits. Plaintiffs also appeal the trial court's ruling that they are entitled to damages only in the amount of the attorneys' fees paid for work negligently completed by Holland & Hart, rather than for all attorneys' fees paid to that firm. Finally, plaintiffs challenge the trial court's dismissal of certain claims assigned to RISCOR by application of the principle that legal malpractice claims are not assignable. Holland & Hart cross-appeals the trial court's denial of its motion for a directed verdict on damages because it claims Roberts failed to present evidence that he had paid or was liable for any of the attorney fees paid to the defendant. We affirm.
