Carriere v. Bodenheimer, Jones, Szwak, & Winchell, L.L.P.
Louisiana Court of Appeal
Decided August 22, 2012No. 47,186-CWPublishedCited by 6 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtStewart, J.
|TIn this legal malpractice action, the defendants, David Szwak (“Szwak”), his law firm Bodenheimer, Jones, Szwak, and Winchell, L.L.P., and his insurer, seek supervisory review of the trial court’s denial of their exception of peremption. Because the plaintiff, Larry Carriere, II (“Carri-ere”), did not timely file his legal malpractice action in the proper venue as required by La. R.S. 9:5605, the trial court erred in denying the exception. Therefore, we vacate the trial court’s ruling, grant Szwak’s exception of peremption, and dismiss the plaintiffs action with prejudice.
