Natan v. Law Offices of Karol & Velen CA2/4
This legal malpractice action arises from an underlying divorce case in which defendants represented plaintiff Neda Natan as successor counsel to attorney Irving Osser. (In re Marriage of Natan (L.A. County Super. Ct., No. BD522371)). Ms. Natan contends Mr. Osser committed malpractice in the underlying action, but she did not file a timely claim against him because defendants did not properly advise her. Her complaint alleges a single cause of action for legal malpractice against defendants based on two theories. The first is defendants’ failure to preserve Ms. Natan’s underlying malpractice claim against Mr. Osser. The other is defendants’ erroneous filing of a lis pendens in the underlying case, which resulted in a monetary sanctions order against Ms. Natan.
