Daniel Riley v. Walter H. Isaacson

Attorney Walter H. Isaacson appeals from a judgment ordering him to pay the respondents costs and attorneys fees. The trial court determined that Isaacson failed in his investigative responsibilities under sec. 802.05, Stats., and that Isaacsons commencement of an action for attorneys fees under the frivolous claims statute and his continued defense of the claim which initiated the litigation were frivolous pursuant to sec. 814.025, Stats. We affirm the judgment based upon sec. 802.05, and therefore need not address the sec. 814.025 issue.
