Seldman (1994) 27 Cal.App.4th 1499, 1506-1507 (DiPalma) [the
plaintiff must “prove that careful management” of the underlying
case “would have resulted in a favorable judgment and collection
thereof, as there is no damage in the absence of these latter
elements”].) “Collectibility is part of the plaintiff’s case, and a
component of the causation and damages showing, rather than
an affirmative defense which the Attorney Defendants must
demonstrate.” 2 (Hecht, Solberg, Robinson, Goldberg & Bagley
LLP v. Superior Court (2006) 137 Cal.App.4th 579, 591 (Hecht).)
       “‘The loss of a collectible judgment “by definition means the
lost opportunity to collect a money judgment from a solvent
[defendant] and is certainly legally sufficient evidence of actual
damage.”’” (Wise, supra, 220 Cal.App.4th at p. 1190.)
