1Opinion of the Court
LAURA DENVIR STITH, Judge.
Plaintiff-Appellant Jimmy Jordan sued attorney Mark Willens for legal malpractice, breach of contract, trespass, and conversion. Each count arose out of Mr. Willens’ representation of Mr. Jordan in a dispute with the City of Kansas City, Missouri concerning Mr. Jordan’s violation of certain city ordinances. We affirm the circuit court’s determination that because Mr. Jordan filed suit more than five years after at least some of the damages he claimed were sustained and capable of ascertainment, each of his claims is time-barred. Accordingly, we affirm.
