I was sued by a renter. During discovery more than 2 years ago clear evidence was provided to their lawyer that here was no case and that his clients were lieing to him. He persued the case anyway until we had picked the jury and begun the trial. In an ealier hearing the Lawyer had committed pergry and then during the actual trial he proceeded to lead his client in pergery. When my attorney presented the evidence log to him he paniced, threatened to have her entire evidence log thrown out. She pointed out that the evidence was also in the information provided to him in the discovery. We settled in my favor as opposed to running up the costs of what was scheduled to be a 5 day jury trial. My attorney has agreed to assist in preparing the case but has healt issues and is not willing to take the entire case herself. We have a clear malicious abuse of the process case but finding an attorney with the gumption to take on another attorney for what may well be criminal behavior is difficult at best.
