Coilplus-Alabama, Inc. v. Johnnie F. Vann and Sirote & Permutt, P.c.

Summary

The court affirmed summary judgment for the attorneys because Coilplus's legal-malpractice claims were untimely under the applicable limitations statute whether accrual was measured from the wrongful act or from the first legal injury. The court also held that Coilplus failed to support its fraudulent-suppression theory because it did not allege that the attorney knew the bonds were taxable when he advised that they were tax exempt. The court declined to address the breach-of-contract claim because Coilplus did not argue it on appeal.
