Court of Appeals of Georgia

1Opinion of the Court
Judge Harold R. Banke.
Eddie Lou Morris sued Atlanta Legal Aid Society, Inc. (“Legal Aid”) and Bernard S. Dempsey, Jr., a Legal Aid attorney, for negligence, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duties, and fraud. Morris asserted that judgments entered in her favor became uncollectible due to Legal Aid and Dempsey’s wrongdoing. The trial court found that Morris’ claims were in large part time-barred and where not time-barred, were barred by inadequacies in the expert affidavit required under OCGA § 9-11-9.1. Morris appeals the trial court’s summary judgment against her on all counts.
