What is the statute of limitations for filing a malpractice suit against my lawyer? We filed a civil lawsuit in 5/02. Our attoryney did not advise us of a motion for summary judgement filed by the defendants. We lost the motion and realized later that the material facts of our case was not included in the resistance brief by our attorney. We naturally appealed the decision but did not realize again that no new facts could be added to the appeal. We lost the appeal.in 11/04. We cannot get a response from this attorney nor any accounting of the $7,000 we paid for their services. Can anyone advise the statute?
