Rebecca Nichols v. James Swindoll and Chuck Gibson

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of Nichols’s legal-malpractice complaint as untimely. It held that Nichols did not sufficiently plead fraudulent concealment because she failed to allege a false material representation and failed to allege that any fraud was furtively planned and secretly executed. Without tolling, the limitations period began on January 19, 2018, and expired before she filed suit.
