Summary

The Supreme Court of Alabama held that the circuit court had subject‑matter jurisdiction over the plaintiffs' breach‑of‑contract and unjust‑enrichment claims against the law firm, distinguishing the case from B.W.T. where the issue was solely an ethics complaint. Accordingly, the Court reversed the dismissal and remanded for further proceedings.
