Perhaps the most common kinds of complaints against lawyers involve delay or neglect. This doesn't mean that occasionally you've had to wait for a phone call to be returned. It means there has been a pattern of the lawyer's failing to respond or to take action over a period of months.
On the face of it, no mens rea is required – inadvertently misleading the court is a breach, regardless of how much care you took to try to avoid that. The words “your client [or] the court…” are meaningless as the addition of “or others” means that the effect of this rule is that you cannot mislead anyone.Dec 23, 2019

I hired Mr. Judge in July 2015. He represented me in numerous court appearances over the span of 2 years. Since this was my first experience with court proceedings I found it quite daunting; Mr. Judge took the time to explain everything so that I understood the process every step of the way.
I hired this attorney late in the process, and he was able to do a lot with a little. Very smart, and always knew the best angle and never oversold anything.
Mr. Judge is an exemplar! He blends professionalism, knowledge, empathy, and focus into impacting and effective representation for his clients. I live out of state and in a different time zone; he adjusted schedules and meetings in order to make himself accessible and available when it was most convenient for me.
Mr. Judge handled my case in a very professional manner. In our meeting he was compassionate, caring, and my work was handled in a very timely fashion. I truly could not be happier with my experience with him. I would highly recommend this attorney!!!
Chris was kind, caring, responsible and professional when he handled my divorce. He kept me informed during the whole process and was able to answer all of my questions in a timely fashion. I cannot thank Chris enough for handling things so quickly and efficiently.
My husband and I found ourselves deep in the Family Court system after we took custody of my sisters three kids. She suffers from severe alcoholism and the kids had been living in conditions so bad that they are the stuff Lifetime movies are made out of.
I had recently come home from overseas when I initiated my divorce. I was quickly referred to Chris through some mutual friends and relatives, and obviously I was a little nervous as I had never met him or heard of him prior to this process.
Carefully read the memorandum. It may not say what you think it does. There "was" a CPS investigation, according to your statement. Does it say "pending" in the paperwork filed with the court? You also speak about a "person in charge" and a "social worker"...Are they one in the same person? Or 2 different people...
Lawyers rules of professional responsibility require candor to the court and to an opposing party. If the lawyer deliberately lied to the court this could give rise to an ethics issue. If the case is still ongoing, then usually the party who has been "lied to" can bring it up with the judge.
Unless the lawyer testified under oath as a witness, he was not committing perjury no matter what he said.,
It is not clear from your question if, from your perspective, the lawyer "lied" on behalf of or against the client. Mr. Sarno answered the former and I agree with his comments.#N#If, however, you were taking about a "lie" against the client - i.e., lawyer lied to the...
For the most part lawyers are considered advocates for their clients. They are expected to argue their client's side of the case.Many times what lay people consider perjury the court does not. In general lawyers are immune from what they say in the courtroom while representing a client. Perjury is when a witness not a lawyer is testifying falsely.
