Gregory Riso & A. v. Maureen C. Dwyer, Esq. & A

Supreme Court of New Hampshire

Decided March 18, 2016No. 2015-0361PublishedCited by 6 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtLynn, J.

The plaintiffs, Gregory and Sonia Riso, appeal an order of the Superior Court (Nicolosi, J.) granting a motion to dismiss their negligence claim against the defendants, Attorney Maureen C. Dwyer and Barradale, O’Connell, Newkirk & Dwyer, P.A., on the grounds that the defendants owed no duty of care to the plaintiffs to promptly execute Gregory’s mother’s will.
