Before JOHN P. MOORE, TACHA, and BRORBY, Circuit Judges.
ORDER AND JUDGMENT*
TACHA, Circuit Judge.


1
After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist the determination of this appeal.   See Fed.R.App.P. 34(a);  10th Cir.R. 34.1.9.   The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.


2
This appeal is from an order of the district court finding a policy of insurance issued by appellant St. Paul Fire & Marine Insurance Company ambiguous and construing the policy in favor of the insured.   Appellants allege that the policy is free from ambiguity and that the district court failed to properly construe the policy in favor of the insured.   We affirm.


3
This appeal arises out of a legal malpractice claim asserted on behalf of appellees Chong, Chang, and Kim against a Kansas attorney.   The attorney was an insured of appellant under a professional liability insurance policy.   The facts related to the malpractice claim are undisputed.   The only issue involved in this appeal is the interpretation of a provision of the insurance policy limiting coverage to $100,000 for each wrongful act or series of related wrongful acts.   We must interpret, as did the district court, the language of the policy to determine whether the malpractice acts involved in this claim were several separate wrongful acts or a series of related wrongful acts.   The district court determined that the phrase "series of related wrongful acts" contained in the policy of insurance was ambiguous and therefore should be construed in favor of the insured.   In our view, the district court was generous in describing the policies as ambiguous.


4
With respect to each of his clients, the attorney had separate obligations and committed several wrongful acts with respect to each of these separate obligations to his clients.   Thus, although he gave the same advice to different clients, it is difficult to say that the advice with respect to each client was related to the advice given to the other two clients.   Whether the policy is ambiguous or whether the acts with respect to each client are three discreet series of wrongful acts, the district court correctly held that appellees are entitled to the aggregate policy limit and that the coverage is not limited to the $100,000 limit that would be applicable to a series of related acts.   The district court further correctly awarded prejudgment interest on the policy amounts.   AFFIRMED.  The mandate shall issue forthwith.
