Meyers v. Livingston, Adler, Pulda, Meiklejohn & Kelly, P.C.

Summary

The court held that the plaintiff's allegations against her law firm sounded in legal malpractice rather than breach of contract because they challenged the firm's professional judgment, loyalty, and handling of the litigation rather than violation of a specific contractual promise. The claim was therefore subject to the three-year statute of limitations and was untimely. The court affirmed the Appellate Court's judgment affirming summary judgment for the defendant.
