Lawyer's Title Insurance v. Groff, 2001-325 (N.H. S.Ct., Sep. 17, 2002)

Plaintiff asserts four claims against Attorney Groff: negligence, breach of contract, and breach of fiduciary duty, all arising from Attorney Groff's alleged duties to plaintiff; and negligence, arising from Attorney Groff's alleged duties to Republic, to which plaintiff is subrogated. The essence of plaintiff's claims is that Walsh was negligent in failing to find and report the Hancock mortgage, that Walsh's negligence is imputable to Attorney Groff, and that Attorney Groff is liable for his own negligence.
