Nicholas v. Millstein
Appellant Karl B. Nicholas sued his former attorney, David J. Millstein (Millstein) and his law firm, Millstein & Associates (collectively respondents) for legal malpractice and negligent infliction of emotional distress. Nicholas proceeded to trial in propria persona.[1] The trial court granted nonsuit (Code Civ. Proc., § 581c) in favor of respondents at the close of Nicholas's evidence on the ground that he could not prevail on his claims without expert testimony on the applicable standard of care. Nicholas contends that the court erred because no expert testimony was required. Since Nicholas fails to present a record adequate to permit our review of the issue, we must affirm.
