Marine Resource Development Foundation, Inc. v. Moore

Marine Resources Development Foundation, Inc., etc. (“Foundation”), appeals the trial court’s entry of final summary judgment in favor of appellees Moore & Company, P.A. (“Firm”), Michael Moore, Esq. (“Moore”), and Erin Ackor, Esq. (“Ackor”) (collectively, “defendants”) involving claims for professional negligence. We reverse the final summary judgment because genuine issues of material fact exist regarding the sufficiency and clarity of the Firm’s legal advice to the Foundation, and whether its advice affected the Foundation’s decision to continue construction of the subject vessel.
