Description

The question presented is whether the denial of a partys motion to vacate a guilty plea in a criminal action can act as collateral estoppel in a later action brought by the party against his attorney for malpractice based on the attorneys advice to plead guilty in the criminal action. On the peculiar facts as we find them in this case we hold that the prior criminal adjudication does indeed block plaintiffs current attempt to sue his attorney.
