A law firm aided clients in obtaining a judgment in 1994. They contend they were not advised of the necessity to renew the judgment. After 2004, their judgment was unenforceable. The clients brought an action for legal malpractice and obtained a judgment. While faced with several creative arguments, the appellate court did not reach most of the contentions, and concluded there was no substantial evidence presented in the trial court that the judgment was collectable. (Wise v. DLA Piper LLP (Cal. App. Fourth Dist., Div. 1; October 28, 2013) 220 Cal.App.4th 1180.)
