Dorantes v. Chapin CA4/1
Brianna Dorantes (Plaintiff) sued Edward Chapin (Defendant), an attorney, for legal malpractice. The trial court granted Defendant's motion for summary judgment on the basis that, as a matter of law, Plaintiff could not establish causation, a necessary element in Plaintiff's cause of action for professional negligence. The trial court did not commit error on the record presented to it, and Plaintiff forfeited appellate consideration of her new theories and related arguments on appeal that were not presented to the trial court. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment.
