Gerald Puetz, David Puetz, and Jeannette Puetz Missouri Cases

Siblings David, Jeannette, and Gerald Puetz appealed a trial court judgment enforcing an attorney's lien filed by their former attorney, Canice Timothy Rice, against their shares of a partition sale. The appellate court dismissed the appeal due to the Puetzes' brief failing to comply with mandatory appellate briefing rules, specifically Rule 84.04, rendering their points on appeal unintelligible and unpreserved. The court also granted Rice's motion for attorney's fees on appeal, finding the appeal frivolous, and remanded the case for the trial court to determine the reasonable amount of fees and expenses.
