TIDGEWELL v. DAVID E. GENTRY, APC JANET A. TIDGEWELL, Plaintiff and Appellant, v. DAVID E. GENTRY, APC et al. , Defendants and Respondents. Plaintiff Janet A. Tidgewell appeals from a summary judgment entered in favor of her former attorneys, defendants Hollins Schechter, APC, and David E. Gentry, APC, in this legal malpractice action. When Tidgewell later filed her age discrimination lawsuit, however, Becton asserted the Compromise and Release as an affirmative defense, arguing Tidgewell waived her age discrimination claims by signing the form. In September 2005, Tidgewell, represented by Hollins Schechter, filed a workers' compensation claim against Becton based on her wrist injuries. Tidgewell moved for a new trial based on alleged errors in the trial court's decision granting the two summary judgment motions.
