Description

CONNOLLY, J. David W. Seevers brought this criminal defense legal malpractice action seeking damages in the amount of $12,362.73 for the alleged professional negligence of the defendant, Paul Stephen Potter, stemming from Potter's representation of Seevers in various criminal matters. Upon a demurrer filed by Potter, the district court dismissed Seevers' amended petition on the ground that it was barred by the statute of limitations, Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-222 (Reissue 1989). Seevers asks this court to determine that the statute of limitations for pursuing a legal malpractice claim against a criminal defense attorney is tolled until postconviction relief is granted. We affirm because Seevers' imprisonment did not toll the statute of limitations.
