MAJORITY OPINION

Kem Thompson Frost, Chief Justice

This appeal arises from a lawyer-client dispute. Clients sued lawyers and the law firm at which they worked, alleging various acts of negligence in representing the clients in a lawsuit, as well as alleged breaches of fiduciary duty. The trial court granted the lawyers’ motion for a traditional summary judgment. We affirm as to the claims for breach of fiduciary duty, and we sever, reverse, and remand the negligence claims.
