25-CV-235 Hudec v. Prpa
Decision and Order
Plaintiff Patrick Hudec filed a suit seeking to collect unpaid legal fees from Defendant Nicolette Prpa, his former client. Prpa moved for judgment on the pleadings, arguing that the suit was untimely under Wisconsin’s six-year statute of limitations for breach of contract claims. The court found that the statute of limitations for unpaid legal fees begins running when the attorney-client relationship ends, not when the client fails to pay an invoice. Taking the pleadings and attachments as true, it appeared that Hudec had performed legal services for Prpa within six years before the suit was filed.
