PER CURIAM

AND NOW, this 6th day of June, 2017, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issue, rephrased for clarity, is:

Should this Court overturn its decision in Muhammad v. Strassburger, Mckenna, Messer, Shilobod & Gutnick, 587 A.2d 1346 (Pa. 1991), which bars legal malpractice suits following the settlement of a lawsuit absent an allegation of fraud, even in instances where an attorney’s negligence led to a lesser settlement.
