Fuller v. Ceasar
Virginia Fuller appeals in propria persona from a judgment entered by the Alameda County Superior Court following the courts grant of summary judgment in favor of attorneys Sharon Caesar and Sandra Smith and against plaintiffs Fuller and her company C & V Caring Friends, Inc. in plaintiffs legal malpractice action.[1] Fuller had asserted below that Caesar had committed malpractice by forcing her into an inadequate settlement agreement with the defendants in the underlying action and by dismissing plaintiffs action without authorization and contrary to Fullers express orders. On appeal, Fuller contends the trial court erred in granting summary judgment for Caesar. Fuller argues: (1) that Ceasar failed to establish on summary judgment/adjudication that Fullers underlying case in which the alleged malpractice occurred had no merit; (2) that neither collateral estoppel nor res judicata established that the underlying case had no merit because the issue of merit was not fully litigated in the underlying action; and (3) that Fuller had demonstrated both damages and that she would prevail at trial.
