A Pennsylvania appeals court has reinstated a legal malpractice suit against a midstate attorney and his former firm over a more than $700,000 personal injury verdict that was later lost on appeal.

The state Superior Court on Monday reversed a Dauphin County Court of Common Pleas judge’s decision to toss the legal malpractice lawsuit Garman v. Angino on summary judgment. The appellate court’s 2-1 holding reinstates claims against Richard Angino and his former firm Angino and Rovner.
