Delisi v. Wagner CA4/1
In the lawsuit underlying this appeal, attorney John A. Delisi filed a complaint against his former client, Allan Wagner, for breach of contract and a common count for services rendered. Delisi sought attorney fees and costs allegedly due from a retention in which Delisi represented Wagner in his contested dissolution of marriage proceedings (Dissolution Action) with his former wife, Yoshie Wagner (Yoshie). In a third amended cross-complaint (TAC C), Wagner named as cross-defendants Delisi and Brandon Smith, who had been Yoshie's attorney in the Dissolution Action. Wagner alleged causes of action against Delisi for breach of contract and negligence and against Delisi and Smith for "misconduct, willful concealment," "abuse of attorney-client fiduciary relationship," "violations of rules of court, duties," and "collusion with opposing counsel."
