Opinion by
Judge SMITH.
In this legal malpractice action, defendants, attorney Robert E. Olsen (Olsen) individually, and the law firm of Olsen and Guardi, appeal from a judgment entered on a jury verdict awarding plaintiff Peter Scognamillo, $200,187.49, and plaintiff Harry Faircloth, $615,052.40. Both plaintiffs cross-appeal a reduction in their judgments based on a finding of comparative negligence and the court’s order reducing each verdict by $27,000. Plaintiff Faircloth also cross-appeals the trial court’s order denying him prejudgment interest. We affirm.
