What is the name of your state? KY
My brother's friend's lawyer just quit on him. When he did so, J (lets call him) wanted to get his files to get help else where. The lawyer didn't want to do it, so J asked court to order it. It did. ANyway, they go back to court cause lawyer still doesn't do it. But somehow he gets away with it. Then the lawyer submits affidavits from the staff that they know he lied to his lawyer about his case (which he claims is false), that he threatened his lawyer (which has to be false as J is puny) and other false stuff. Well, the affidavits were submitted as part of the record as a justification for the lawyer not returning his file. Can he submit a memo to the court with proof that he did not do these things?
He does have proof that many of the statments made in the affidavits are not true. In case anyone is wondering, the lawyer did really bad and in a weak moment told him that he should sue him for legal malpractice. I think that these affidavits are being supplied to counter that in case J gets up the nerve to do so. The lawyer lost the original case at trial, and shared client secrets with the defendant. So, until he gets new counsel or he filed a motion for a new trial.....can he enter a memo to the court to counter the lies? Thanks anyone who answers
