Vereecke v. Ziffren, Brittenham, Branca et al.
Plaintiff filed a complaint for legal malpractice, breach of fiduciary duty, and unfair competition against the law firm of Ziffren, Brittenham, Branca, Fischer, Gilbert-Lurie, Stiffelman & Cook LLP and three of its attorneys (collectively, the law firm). Plaintiff alleges that the law firm created, and then dissolved, a closely held corporation for plaintiff and defendant Perla Hudson (Perla) without disclosing that it represented Perla and her husband, defendant Saul Hudson (Saul), in other matters. The trial court sustained the law firms demurrer to the first amended complaint without leave to amend, concluding that plaintiff had not sufficiently pled the elements of any of her causes of action. Plaintiff appeals, and court affirm.
