Facts
In 1994, the plaintiff retained defendant realtor to represent him in the sale or lease of commercial property. The defendant subsequently became a disclosed dual agent for the plaintiff and cross-complainant who leased a portion of the property. The defendant drafted the commercial lease; however, a dispute arose concerning the parameters of the leased property. The plaintiff and the lessee filed declaratory relief actions and sued the defendant for negligence. The defendant cross-complained against the lessee for indemnity.
Damages
The plaintiff and cross-complainant lessee claimed a mobile phone lease valued at $48,000; $15,000 in attorney fees for plaintiff, and unknown attorney fees for cross-complainant.
Other Information
The settlement was reached approximately nine months after the case was filed. Several mediation sessions were held before attorney Wanden P. Treanor, resulting in the reported settlement.
