OPINION

GRANT, Judge.

This appeal and cross-appeal arise from plaintiffs' (collectively "HRP") suit against defendant Winston & Strawn for the legal malpractice of its former partner, Arthur Greenfield. We affirm the judgment for compensatory and punitive damages against Winston & Strawn but reverse part of the trial court's award of credit for partial satisfaction against the judgment.
