Yes. If the advice that was given was to intentionally deceive the client and it has been established that there is an attorney–client relationship, then a fiduciary relationship must have existed that the bad advice caused the client to suffer a financial loss. In this case, “the law imposes a more demanding obligation to disclose information than if he was conducting a transaction with a stranger (Edwards, 6th ed. 2016).” Other elements that represent intentional misrepresentation: • Defendant makes a misrepresentation with intent of inducing plaintiff’s reliance. • Defendant knows the misrepresentation is false or acts with reckless indifference to truth or falsity of representation. • Plaintiff justifiably relies on misrepresentation. •
