CG&P Successfully Obtains Appellate Dismissal of Legal Malpractice Action

The Appellate Division for the Second Judicial Department has affirmed the dismissal of a legal malpractice action against CG&P’s client. The Court agreed with CG&P’s argument that the claim against the attorney and his firm was properly dismissed by the trial court on the grounds that the plaintiff could not prove causation. Specifically, the Court held that the plaintiff failed to demonstrate that he had a viable claim pursuant to Labor Law 240 or 241 in the underlying action where plaintiff was represented by CG&P’s client. The case was handled by CG&P partner Gary Petropoulos and associate William Schleifer.
