Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1:

Xingkui Guo, Nashville, Tennessee, Pro Se.

Attorneys 2:

Mark J. Downton, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellee, Woods & Woods, PP.

Judge(s): BENNETT

A former client sued his former attorney for breach of contract, and the trial court entered judgment in favor of the client for $3,500. Because the trial court found that the attorney had “justifiable reasons” for terminating the contract, and because the contract provided that the $7,000 set fee paid by the client at the beginning of the representation was earned upon payment, we have determined that the trial court erred in entering judgment in favor of the client.
