Yeager v. Thomas CA4/15
In this appeal, General Charles E. Yeager and Victoria Yeager challenge the dismissal of their action for legal malpractice against their former attorney, Michael Thomas, and Thomas & Associates, a limited liability law partnership. In the trial court, Victoria undertook to represent both herself and Charles even though she is not a licensed attorney. The Yeagers ignored repeated orders to secure a lawyer or guardian ad litem for Charles. Consequently, the trial court imposed monetary sanctions for abuse of the discovery process. After the Yeagers failed to comply with three discovery orders, the Thomas defendants brought a motion for terminating sanctions. The trial court granted the unopposed motion.
