Sommers Schwartz attorneys Matthew Turner and David Black settled a legal malpractice lawsuit in a case involving a loan related to a Michigan cannabis business. The lawsuit alleged that the lender’s attorney failed to properly secure the loan, forcing her to accept partial repayment of a fraction of what she was owed when the borrower defaulted. The defense maintained that no attorney-client relationship existed and therefore there was no breach of duty. The settlement was negotiated after the parties engaged in mediation.
