Kachlon v. Gilchrest CA2/1
Beginning in 2002, three attorneys in succession mishandled legal matters for Mordechai and Monica Kachlon, resulting in a substantial judgment against the Kachlons. The Kachlons filed this legal malpractice action against the attorneys in 2005. The first attorney obtained summary judgment on the ground that the action was time-barred as to him. (Kachlon v. Spielfogel, Jan. 6, 2016, B259872 [nonpub. opn.].) The second and third attorneys successfully moved to have the remainder of the dispute sent to arbitration and the civil action against them stayed. After the arbitrator ruled against them in 2015, the attorneys moved to vacate the arbitration award on the ground that it was not entered within five years of commencement of the action, as required by Code of Civil Procedure section 580.310. The trial court denied the motion.
We affirm.
