The plaintiff, James Yager (the client), appeals orders of the Superior Court (MacLeod, J.) granting summary judgment to defendant K. William Clauson (the attorney) on the client’s legal malpractice claim and dismissing that claim as to defendant Clauson, Atwood & Spaneas (the law firm). Of the two defendants, only the attorney has appeared in this appeal. We affirm the trial court’s decision to dismiss the client’s legal malpractice action against the law firm, reverse its grant of summary judgment to the attorney, and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
