The following excerpt is from Neel v. Magana, Olney, Levy, Cathcart & Gelfand, 14 Cal.App.3d 813, 92 Cal.Rptr. 814 (Cal. App. 1971):
9 Although no California case has been found in which an attorney was held estopped to plead the statute of limitations because of fraudulent concealment, the parties assume, and quite properly so, that Delaney would have been estopped. (Cf. Eckert v. Schaal, 251 Cal.App.2d 1. 5, 58 Cal.Rptr. 817.)
