Description
Plaintiff, Law Offices of Lawrence J. Stockler, P.C., appeals as of right from a judgment following a bench trial in the Oakland Circuit Court. Stockler sued defendants David and Sydney Rose, his wife, to recover legal fees. The Roses filed a counterclaim for legal malpractice in two matters: (1) Stocklers representation of the Roses in their suit against Touche Ross and Company (hereafter referred to as the Touche Ross case); and (2) Stocklers defense of Sydney Rose in a garnishment proceeding initiated by Hammond Organ Company (hereafter referred to as the Hammond Organ case). Stockler responded by amending the complaint to add a third-party complaint against James Hudnut and Hudnut and Ravitz, P.C. (hereafter collectively referred to as Hudnut) who also represented Sydney Rose in the Hammond Organ case. After an extensive trial, the court entered judgments awarding Stockler legal fees of $13,727.98 and granting Hudnut a judgment of no cause of action. The Roses were awarded $150,000 in the Hammond Organ case and $761,671.41 in the Touche Ross case plus statutory interest of $420,394.59 for a total judgment of $1,332,066.
