No. C1-96-1642.

557 N.W.2d 621 (1997)

FIRST BANK OF MINNESOTA, et al., Appellants, v. Kerry B. OLSON, et al., Respondents.

Court of Appeals of Minnesota.

Review Denied March 18, 1997.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Thomas A. Foster, Jennifer Kjos Fackler, Foster, Waldeck & Lind, Ltd., Minneapolis, for appellants.

Kay Nord Hunt, Terrance W. Moore, Lommen, Nelson, Cole & Stageberg, P.A., Minneapolis, for respondents.

Considered and decided by DAVIES, P.J., and HUSPENI and SHORT, JJ.


OPINION

SHORT, Judge.

In this legal malpractice action, the trial court awarded summary judgment for attorney Olson, finding First Bank of Minnesota and First National Bank of Glencoe (banks) would have won the underlying dispute in spite of Olson's alleged negligence, and, therefore, any negligence by Olson did not proximately cause the banks' damages in settling the dispute. On appeal, the banks argue the trial court misapplied the law.
