Ryan James Realty, LLC v. Villages at Chester Condo. Ass'n, No. 2004-689, SUPREME COURT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE, January 27, 2006, Opinion Issued
View this case - free  

Overview: As N.H. Rev. Stat.

View this case - free  

Overview: As long as a valid criminal conviction was in place, a legal malpractice action based on ineffective assistance resulting in that conviction could not withstand a motion to dismiss.
