Filed Too Late: Legal Malpractice Suit Against Bilzin Sumberg Thrown Out on Appeal

A legal malpractice lawsuit against Bilzin Sumberg Baena Price & Axelrod is no more, as the Third District Court of Appeal found a Miami judge was right to dismiss it with prejudice.

The ruling, issued Wednesday, centered around a two-year statute of limitations for professional malpractice claims. The appellate panel had to decide when exactly the clock began ticking, and found the lawsuit had been filed too late.
