Faerber v. Hyde
This is the fifth appeal resulting from the litigation between Rainer Joachim Faerber and Thomas F. Hyde and The Hyde Law Firm (Hyde). This protracted litigation began with a vehicle accident between Faerber and a third party. Faerber settled the lawsuit and sued his former counsel, Hyde, for legal malpractice. Hyde filed a cross complaint against Faerber for unpaid attorney fees. The trial court granted Hydes motion for judgment on Faerbers pleadings, and Court reversed in Faerber I. Once the matter returned to the lower court, Hyde moved for summary judgment, which the trial court granted in 2003. Court affirmed in Faerber II. The trial court conducted a bench trial on Hydes cross complaint for attorney fees and ruled in favor of Faerber.
