Anne Dalena (Of Counsel-Madison, NJ) and Maxwell Billek (Partner-Madison, NJ) represented a prominent New Jersey employment law firm that defended the plaintiff in an employment discrimination case against a shipping and supply chain management company. Plaintiff alleged that his former lawyer failed him in several respects, including failing to be fully familiar with the record and failing to file a proper opposition to the summary judgement motion filed by his employer. After the deposition of the plaintiff's legal malpractice expert, Anne and Max moved for summary judgment on the basis that the expert could not state within a reasonable degree of certainty how the result would have been any different if the attorney had been more familiar with the record or had written a better opposition to the summary judgment motion. Accordingly, the trial judge barred the expert from testifying under the "net opinion" rule, and granted summary judgment for our client lawyer. The Appellate Division affirmed.
