Attorney obtained a defense verdict in a legal malpractice case in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania

Attorney obtained a defense verdict in a legal malpractice case in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.  Three days before his contemplated marriage, plaintiff had retained our client to draft a pre-nuptial agreement. The agreement was drafted by our client immediately and was e-mailed to the plaintiff for his review as well as the review by the wife-to-be.  Plaintiff did not present the agreement to his wife-to-be until the night before the wedding and informed her that an appointment at the attorney's office to sign the agreement had already been scheduled for the next day (the wedding day).  Ultimately, the parties separated and the wife challenged the agreement which was eventually invalidated by the court.  Plaintiff then filed suit against our client claiming that his negligence in the drafting of the agreement resulted in the agreement being invalidated.  After a bench trial on plaintiff's claims of malpractice and breach of contact against our client, the Court issued its findings of fact and conclusions of law determining that our client did not deviate from the applicable standard of care nor did he breach any contact with plaintiff and further determined that plaintiff's own actions lead to the agreement being invalidated.
