Albert v. Reed Smith LLP CA4/3
Marvin Baldwin lost his home at a foreclosure auction in December 2010. (See Baldwin v. Bank of America (Feb. 7, 2014, B243789) [nonpub. opn] [2014 LEXIS 934 at p. 4] (Baldwin v. Bank of America ).) He sued Bank of America on a variety of causes of action. While his initial complaint was filed in propria persona, he was, at least as late as June 2012 when he filed a second amended complaint, represented by attorney Lenore Albert. (Ibid.) The trial court sustained Bank of America’s demurrer to the second amended complaint in 2012. Baldwin, still represented by Albert, appealed. (Id. at pp. 8-10.) Baldwin lost the appeal, mainly because he could not pay his loan. (See id. at p. 18.)
In 2015, Baldwin sued Albert for legal malpractice (Orange County Superior Court case number 30-2015-00784213). Albert responded with a cross-complaint for unpaid fees. She also named Bank of America and its law firm, Reed Smith LLP, as defendants.
