Immediate Dismissal Granted in Attorney Malpractice Case

Matthew J. Egan and Quinn P. Donnelly successfully defended two attorneys against a claim for legal malpractice based on the attorneys’ representation of a dentist in an attempt to collect a disputed debt from a third-party. The third-party, a serial litigant, asserted a claim against the two attorneys.

Mr. Egan and Mr. Donnelly were successful in obtaining the immediate dismissal of the third-party’s claim with prejudice for a failure to state a cause of action against either attorney under Illinois law.
