Sprincin v. Newcomb
Appellants Chariot SVN, LLC (Chariot) and its managing member, Charles M. Sprincin, sued attorney Brian W. Newcomb for fraud and negligence, based on Newcombs professional efforts undertaken on behalf of his client William Garlock. The trial court sustained Newcombs demurrer to the complaint without leave to amend. Appellants argue they stated a valid claim for concealment, and it was reasonably foreseeable they would be harmed by Newcombs negligence in his representation of Garlock. Appellants further contend the trial court abused its discretion when it denied them leave to amend the complaint. We agree with the trial court that Newcomb owed no duty to appellants as a matter of law, and there was no reasonable possibility appellants could cure the defects in the complaint by amendment. Court therefore affirm the judgment.
