A New Jersey appeals court on Tuesday reinstated a legal malpractice claim against a New Jersey lawyer sued by a former client in connection with a devastating 2005 fire that ravaged a historic mansion-turned-condominium complex in Mount Arlington.
The two-judge Appellate Division panel said a Morris County trial judge erred when she dismissed the lawsuit against Morris Plains solo Barry Levine because a factual dispute exists as to whether there was an attorney-client relationship with the plaintiff, a condo unit owner named Roberta Greening.
