Brendan Todd Negron v. Hagar and Phillips, Attorneys at Law, PLLC

This appeal arises from a legal malpractice action which the trial court dismissed on the defendant’s motion for summary judgment. The plaintiff appeals, contending the trial court erred in denying his Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure 56.07 motion for additional time to conduct discovery before ruling on the summary judgment motion. The plaintiff also contends the court erred in summarily dismissing his complaint on multiple grounds including the plaintiff’s failure to present expert testimony to support his claim of legal malpractice. We affirm the trial court in all respects.
