Kull + Hall v. Karimi
Appellant Michael A. Karimi appeals from the judgment entered in favor of respondents Kull + Hull LLP (K+H) and Robert F. Kull in an action against Karimi for unpaid legal fees. Karimi, who had filed a cross-complaint for breach of fiduciary duty, legal malpractice, unjust enrichment, and other claims, contends the jury’s favorable finding on the breach of fiduciary duty claim is fatally inconsistent with its unfavorable finding on the legal malpractice cause of action and mandates a new trial. He also contends the trial court’s award of prejudgment interest to K+H was improper. We conclude the findings on the cross-complaint are not inconsistent, but that the award of prejudgment interest must be stricken.
