GLG Development Corp. v. Crowe

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Mar 8, 1991
171 A.D.2d 1068 (N.Y. App. Div. 1991)

Opinion

March 8, 1991

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Allegany County, Feeman, J.

Present — Callahan, J.P., Doerr, Green, Pine and Balio, JJ.


Order unanimously reversed on the law with costs, motion denied and complaint reinstated. Memorandum: Supreme Court erred in granting defendants summary judgment and dismissing plaintiffs' complaint for legal malpractice. There are triable issues of fact whether defendants adequately advised plaintiffs of the pitfalls in failing to file an offering statement or prospectus before proceeding with the real estate development (see, General Business Law § 352-e; Parksville Mobile Modular v Fabricant, 73 A.D.2d 595, 600). There are also questions of fact whether defendants deviated from reasonable care in providing legal services to plaintiffs, thereby causing plaintiffs to suffer damages (see, Werle v Rumsey, 278 N.Y. 186; Corley v Miller, 133 A.D.2d 732, 735; Saveca v Reilly, 111 A.D.2d 493, 494; Cohen v Lipsig, 92 A.D.2d 536).
