Opinion
RICHMAN, J.
Appellant Jill L. Davenport and respondent Ken L. Davenport were married in 1948, a marriage that would produce three daughters and a vast estate. Jill1 and Ken separated in 1990, and in 2006 Jill filed a petition for dissolution. The petition was filed by a long-established Sonoma County law firm, signed by an experienced lawyer there. Early on, a young and inexperienced attorney at that firm became Jill’s primary attorney, and interacted with Ken’s attorneys for the next two years, interactions that would generate a 35-page register of actions and 19 volumes of court files.
