Raymond McGrogan and Pauline McGrogan, Plaintiffs-Appellants v. Peter W. Till, an Attorney at Law of the State of…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Appellate Division's judgment, holding that the six‑year statute of limitations in N.J.S.A. 2A:14‑1 governs all legal‑malpractice actions, regardless of the nature of the alleged injury, and that the plaintiffs' claim was time‑barred because the limitations period began on March 22, 1991. The Court reasoned that legal malpractice is a tortious injury to the rights of another and that a uniform limitations period promotes predictability.
