Case Summary

5028 In a malpractice action against an attorney, the statue of limitations may be tolled for periods of continued representation; whether the representation has continued is a question of fact and thus inappropriate for summary judgment whenever there is the possibility of additional lawyerly services in a case even when the client and the lawyer have not communicated for years.
