Re: attorney malpractice
The filing of a grievance before the AGC does not toll the 3 year statute of limitations. The statute governs the time you have to file a lawsuit against the attorney you are accusing of malpractice. The time starts to run from when the malpractice was committed, or when you discovered or should have found out about it, if later.
