I need some advice please.

Courtrooms are dramatic. No law against that.

Logic prevails?

Look at OJ (until his recent screw up).

LOGIC does NOT always prevail.

But if you say so.....*hand pat*

I certainly hope so. I'm just saddened that it takes so long and so much money in legal fees to get the community of lawyers to become incensed that WRONG is prevailing.

There is absolutely nothing so frightening as having a judge declare the WRONG person guilty of something they didn't do after someone who did it admitted it and his motive to the court during the trial.

Or reading a lawyer/plaintiff's testimony and counting twelve clearly perjured statements that went to create a scenario of deceit.

Or having a judge say it was too late to file a countersuit against a plaintiff who had refused to answer interrogatories for two years with no sanctions after four interventions by defendant's attorney and even then refused in writing to answer a large percentage of the questions.

As someone in a blog once said, ONE of the law partners is NOT as guilty as the other... HIS suggestion was that ONLY ONE should be disbarred... Ludicrous! Both partners participated in the entire situation and took part in multiple acts of malpractice, illegality, and ethics violations.

It is not for nothing that the ethics rules inform the lawyer that going into a business transaction with a client is nearly impossible to do without committing malpractice for which he can be disbarred. It seems some lawyers KNOW they can get by with it... because they do.... for years and years.

One thing conspiciously absent from that diatribe..

THE fact that what you are describing with such rancor is the EXCEPTION to the RULE and NOT the status quo.
