Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A claim for legal malpractice is stated when the plaintiff alleges there was an attorney-client relationship, the attorney was guilty of negligence in his relationship with the client, and the plaintiff sustained some loss because of the attorney’s conduct. Nelson v. Waldrup, (La.App. 4 Cir.) 565 So.2d 1078 , writ denied 569 So.2d 962 (La.1990); Jenkins v. St. Paul Fire and Marine Ins. Co., 422 So.2d 1109 (La.1982). Plaintiff must meet this initial burden of proof before the burden “shifts to the defendant attorney to prove that the client could not have succeeded on'the original claim.” Nelson, at 1079.”
