Burnap v. Linnartz

OPINION

STONE, Justice.

This is an appeal from a summary judgment entered in favor of the defendant lawyers in a legal malpractice action. The appellant, Willard Burnap, contends numerous unresolved fact issues preclude summary judgment. We agree that material issues of fact remain regarding the existence of an attorney-client relationship, and that these issues must be submitted to a jury.

We therefore affirm in part and reverse and remand in part.
