Selby v. Roggow
New Mexico Court of Appeals
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION
DONNELLY, Judge.
{1} In this legal malpractice case, Plaintiffs appeal the granting of summary judgment in favor of Defendants. The central issue asserted on appeal is whether the trial court erred in determining as a matter of law that none of the facts relied upon by Plaintiffs would have provided a basis to avoid a mortgage foreclosure or have supported a viable counterclaim in the foreclosure action brought against them, wherein Defendants were employed as defense counsel. We hold that the granting of summary judgment was proper.
