Outcome
The appellate court affirmed the dismissal of plaintiff's legal malpractice complaint as barred by the two-year statute of limitations, holding that the five-year fraudulent concealment exception did not apply because the alleged concealment was based on the same facts as the malpractice claim itself and plaintiff had reasonable time to file within the two-year period after discovering his cause of action.

**What This Means for Workers:**
Without knowing the specific outcome and details of this case, it's difficult to draw clear lessons for other workers. However, the fact that this case reached the appellate court level shows that employment disputes can involve complex legal issues that may require multiple court proceedings to resolve.
