Jason C. Palmer and Ryan P. Tunink Secure Summary Judgment in Iowa Business Court Legal Malpractice Case
Lamson Dugan & Murray attorneys Jason C. Palmer and Ryan P. Tunink recently secured summary judgment on behalf of an Iowa law firm in a legal malpractice action before the Iowa Business Court.
The plaintiffs asserted claims arising from the law firm’s prior representation, including allegations of legal negligence. In seeking summary judgment, the defense argued that the plaintiffs could not establish the causation necessary to support their claims.
The Court agreed, finding that there were no genuine issues of material fact on causation and that summary judgment in favor of the defendants was appropriate. The Court ultimately granted the law firm’s motion for summary judgment, and the plaintiffs’ petition was dismissed.
