Zech v. Richards CA4/3
Eugene V. Zech filed a lawsuit against his former client, Alicia Marie Richards, to recover sums due for legal representation in her marital dissolution action. After a three-day trial, the jury found in Zech’s favor and awarded $70,263.40 (attorney fees, costs, and prejudgment interest).
On appeal, Richards asserts the judgment must be reversed for the following reasons: (1) the trial court lacked subject matter jurisdiction; (2) the court abused its discretion by not permitting Richards to file a cross-complaint; (3) the court erred by granting Zech’s motion in limine to exclude evidence; (4) the verdict is not supported by substantial evidence; and (5) the court improperly instructed the jury. We conclude these contentions lack merit, and we affirm the judgment.
