Zelznick v. Zacks
Appellant J.K. Selznick appeals from orders granting special motions to strike her original and amended complaints filed against her former attorney, Andrew M. Zacks (Zacks) and his law firm, Zacks, Utrecht & Leadbetter, P.C. (ZUL), motions made pursuant to the anti-SLAPP statute. (Code Civ. Proc., 425.16)[1] Selznick also appeals from related orders awarding attorney fees and costs to Zacks and ZUL under that statute. ( 425.16, subd. (c).) We conclude that the gravamen of the causes of action in both complaints is litigation-related conduct protected under the anti-SLAPP statute and that Selznick did not meet her burden of demonstrating a likelihood of prevailing on her claims. Court thus affirm.
