A statutes of limitations issue can sometimes get put at the end of the priorities list when an already time-pressured attorney is faced with the facts, law, procedure, and investigation of a case.

But any attorney or assistant worth his/her salt knows to check the statute of limitation before pursuing a claim.

This guide makes life just a little easier with each statute highlighted and reprinted with word-for-word for accuracy. Every lawyer knows the secret to success and client satisfaction is only as strong as a lawyer's attention to detail and the ability to find the time to do it.
