GEORGE MARHOLIN AND ELEANOR MARHOLIN, HIS WIFE, APPELLANTS,
v.
HENRY L. KAYE AND WHITING NATIONAL SERVICES, APPELLEES

Fla. 3d DCA | 1987-03-03
No. 86-729
Before BARKDULL, DANIEL PEARSON and JORGENSON, JJ.
503 So. 2d 950 Florida District Court of Appeal, Third District (1987)


Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

[*951] PER CURIAM.

We reverse a summary judgment in favor of an attorney in a malpractice action based on the running of the statute of limitations because there was a material issue of fact as to whether or not the attorney “lulled” his clients into refraining from filing a malpractice action by acknowledging his responsibility for their loss and urging them not to commence such an action in consideration of which he would make them whole, either personally or through his insurance carrier. Parker v. Dinsmore Company, 443 So. 2d 356 (Fla. 1st DCA 1983); Public Health Trust of Dade County v. Prudential Insurance Company, 415 So. 2d 896 (Fla. 3d DCA 1982); Nessim v.

Southern Reinforcing Steel Co., Inc., 348 So. 2d 1216 (Fla. 4th DCA 1977).
