596 A.2d 35 (1991)

David D. DALO and D-Developers, Inc., Appellants, v. Murray A. KIVITZ, et al., Appellees.

District of Columbia Court of Appeals.

Decided August 7, 1991.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Mitchell F. Dolin, with whom John Vanderstar and Laura M. Steeves were on the brief, for appellants.

Geoffrey T. Hervey, with whom David P. Durbin and Carol Ann Petren were on the brief, for appellees.

Before FERREN, TERRY and FARRELL, Associate Judges.


FARRELL, Associate Judge:

This appeal arises from a judgment for legal malpractice in favor of appellant David D. Dalo against his attorneys, appellees Kivitz and Liptz. Dalo challenges the refusal of the trial court, as trier of fact, to award him attorney's fees as damages, punitive damages, and certain compensatory damages.1 Only the third claim has merit, necessitating a partial remand for further proceedings.
