Our Supremes reinstated a legal malpractice suit against Las Vegas attorney Dennis Myron Leavitt filed by a woman who accused him of professional negligence. The Court found that Judge Miley erred by finding the disgruntled client failed to file her claim within the two-year statute of limitations. From the LV Sun:
Hall says in April 2005 she and her boyfriend were in the laundry room at the Casa Rosa apartments when a security guard entered, pulled a gun, cocked the pistol, yelled multiple profanities at the couple and threatened to kill them.Leavitt apparently forgot to name the security guard personally as a defendant. Whoops.
The security guard, employed by Security One, was arrested, says Hall, who alleges she was traumatized and forced to undergo extensive psychological treatment.
