In a recent ruling, an Arizona appeals court upheld a decision to dismiss a woman's malpractice claim against her ex-attorney. The court concluded she suffered no direct financial loss from the attorney's missed deadline, despite a $200,000 error in the divorce decree regarding familial debt. It was established that the obligation to pay the debt remained unchanged and fully enforceable.
