Description

This is an appeal from a legal malpractice case. The trial court granted a take-nothing judgment on appellant John Gibson's affirmative claims against appellee Al Ellis and awarded Ellis $41,000 in attorney's fees on his counterclaim. Gibson delineates eleven issues in his appeal. He contends the trial court erred in the following ways: by failing to grant judgment as a matter of law on several of his causes of action, by granting a take-nothing summary judgment on his claims for negligence and violations of the Deceptive Trade Practices Act, by denying his motions for continuance, by excluding certain evidence at trial, and by finding that his lawsuit was groundless. For the reasons set forth below, we affirm the trial court's judgment.
