James M. Campbell and Eric M. Apjohn recently obtained summary judgment in a legal malpractice claim filed in Middlesex County Superior Court.  The plaintiff alleged intentional infliction of emotional distress by a Boston based law firm, one of its partners, one of its insurance clients and the adjuster for the insurance client.  The Court determined that “no reasonable jury could conclude that the defendants’ conduct was extreme and outrageous.”  The Court also dismissed plaintiff’s MGL c. 93A and loss of consortium claims.
