Chicago Legal Malpractice Lawyer Blog
The caption of this case is Evanston Insurance Company v. Riseborough and Jacobson and Riseborough, 1-10-2660.
The opinion is not available online or on the website of the Appellate Court. I learned of this case when I read an excellent article by the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin. I am amazed that an opinion of this importance is not published or easily available. I had to send someone to the Appellate Court clerk’s office to obtain a copy of the opinion.
The case is of importance because it holds that the legal malpractice statute of limitations does not apply to a suit brought by a non-client against an attorney arising out of the performance of professional services.
