Plaintiff and respondent Shalome Kaushansky brought a
malpractice action against her former attorney, Stonecroft
Attorneys, APC, and Michael Akhidenor (collectively, Stonecroft)
for professional negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and unfair
competition. After a bench trial, the court entered judgment in
favor of Kaushansky, awarding her total damages of $116,734.29,
comprised of $91,734.29 for her professional negligence cause of
action and $25,000 for her breach of fiduciary duty cause of
action. We reverse the professional negligence damages award
but otherwise affirm the judgment. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND
