Halimi v. Grant
Plaintiff, cross-defendant and appellant George Halimi is a lawyer who represented defendant, cross-complainant and appellant Dennis Grant in regard to his rights as a beneficiary of the trust of his late mother. After the trust action was settled, Halimi sued Grant for unpaid legal fees. Grant filed a cross-complaint against Halimi pleading professional malpractice and other causes of action. The trial court sustained the demurrer to Halimi’s first amended complaint without leave to amend as to the first through fourth causes of action but permitted the filing of a second amended complaint for quantum meruit. At the beginning of trial, Halimi voluntarily dismissed this complaint, and a three-day court trial ensued on the cross-complaint. The trial court awarded Grant $200,000 on the cross-complaint. Halimi and Grant each appeal from the judgment. We affirm.
