Security National sued the Stern law office for legal malpractice over handling of a mortgage foreclosure. A trial judge agreed with Stern that its office did not represent Security National at the time of the alleged malpractice and dismissed the lawsuit. The Fourth District Court of Appeal reversed the trial court, finding that the legal malpractice claim was transferred to Security National along with the note and mortgage. The Stern law office appealed that decision to this Court, arguing it conflicts with earlier decisions.
