All actions for legal malpractice must be based on damages incurred. Damages in a legal malpractice action will not be presumed and the plaintiff in a malpractice action bears the burden of proof by preponderance of the evidence that actual damages resulted from the wrongful acts of the malpractice defendant. Damages must consist of actual economic damages. Damages for pain and suffering or emotional distress are not recognizable damages under any circumstances in a legal malpractice case. Further, the damages cannot be speculative or nothing more than estimates.
