Description
A famous lawyer once said: "'[a]bout half of the practice of a decent lawyer is telling would-be clients that they are damned fools and should stop.'"*fn1 Consistent with that admonition, CR 11 allows courts to sanction lawyers who do not know when to stop. In this case, an attorney filed a suit against a dentist for medical malpractice who was not present during the operation where the alleged malpractice occurred. The trial court, concluding that the lawsuit was not well founded, entered a judgment against the lawyer in the amount of $4,200 for attorney's fees, pursuant to CR 11. We affirm the judgment against him and also assess reasonable fees on appeal.
