In a case requiring the court to tackle New Jersey’s and Pennsylvania’s divergent statutes of limitation on legal malpractice claims, a state appeals panel has handed Archer & Greiner a win.

A three-judge Appellate Division panel on June 29 said the Haddonfield firm and onetime partner Richard Grungo Jr. could not be held liable because Pennsylvania’s two-year statute of limitations should apply rather than New Jersey’s six-year statute of limitations.
