Defendants filed a demurrer to the cause of action for legal malpractice asserted in the FAC. Defendants assert that the first cause of action in the FAC: (1) does not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action for legal malpractice; and (2) is uncertain as the FAC fails to allege facts showing breach and causation.
