Description

KLEINFELD, Circuit Judge: Spierer was paid an attorney's fee in advance of the work to be done, and disgorged it when a conflict of interest prevented him from doing the work. His counterclaim was an attempt to have his malpractice insurer pay him the attorney's fee for the work he did not do, with interest. He lacked entitlement to the money. Also, his claim was barred by the statute of limitations, because he did not sue the insurance company until more than four years after his cause of action, if he had one, had accrued.
