Recently in Dunran Corp v. LaSalle Bank, Tom Crisham, Jean Prendergast and Michael Faley defended the appeal of the granting of a motion to dismiss in a complicated legal malpractice case. The appellate court agreed that the plaintiffs failed to timely file a notice of appeal from the dismissal of their complaint by the circuit court. The appellate court then went further and agreed that the plaintiffs did not state a cause of action for legal malpractice based on allegations that they were the beneficiary of legal services performed for their parents. 1-05-0548 (1st Dist.
