Description
In Wiley v. County of San Diego (1998) 19 Cal.4th 532, this court held that when a former criminal defendant sues his or her attorney for legal malpractice, the former clients actual innocence of the underlying criminal charges is a necessary element of the malpractice cause of action. We granted review in this matter to address a distinct, but related, question - whether a former criminal defendant must obtain exoneration by post-conviction relief as a prerequisite to obtaining relief for legal malpractice. As we shall explain, we conclude that post-conviction exoneration is a prerequisite to prevailing on a legal malpractice claim in this context.
