Moonlight Enters., LLC v. Mroz

OPINION BY JUSTICE D. ARTHUR KELSEY

**227 Moonlight Enterprises, LLC ("Moonlight") filed a legal malpractice action against two lawyers, Francis E. Mroz and Stephen P. Zachary. The circuit court granted the lawyers' pleas in bar, dismissing both Mroz and Zachary on statute-of-limitations grounds and, alternatively, dismissing Mroz on the basis of res judicata. On the statute-of-limitations grounds, we affirm the dismissal of Mroz but reverse the dismissal of Zachary. Given our ruling, we offer no opinion on the circuit court's alternative, res-judicata ground for dismissing Mroz.
