OPINION
DROWOTA, Judge.
The plaintiff, William Robinson, brought this action against the defendant, attorney James R. Omer, Sr., alleging negligent misrepresentation. 1 Robinson asserts that he agreed to secretly videotape the sexual encounters of his friend, and Omer’s client, Dewey Lineberry, in reliance upon Omer’s erroneous advice that the videotaping was legally permissible. Robinson initiated this action seeking to recover compensatory and punitive damages after he settled the civil lawsuits which were filed against him by some of the women who were secretly taped.
