Evidence*Can it be presented other than by atty?


What is the name of your state? TX
Can evidence that attorney does not want to present to Judge be presented by clients? Do not get me wrong, I have paid ALOT!!! of money to my attorney. With her reputation as a Family Atty. I would trust she would and should do all to her ability in my representation. I know that my atty and the one we are attempting to get disqual, have a regular working relationship outside of this case. There were so many things that should have been asserted during the last trial that weren't. Over 70% of the things that were intentionly left out would have a negitive affect on atty we are trying to have disqual. I know there are professional courtesies that need to be respected but time is money. We have to return to court for the 2nd time on the same matter ,because these documents were not presented in 1st, probably not going to be in 2nd either. Although, we have expressed many times how we want her to pursue this case. Bottom line: Can I, as a party in the case, present these documents to the court for either admissable/not admissible review by judge? And is so how? Should we expect ramifications from our atty? Not a jury trial or anything, hearing for atty removal only..

Of course you can.

As long as you want the attorney to ask to be removed from the case and have the judge allow it. Then you can handle the case yourself.

Did you BOTHER to ask the attorney why she thinks your 'evidence' should NOT be admitted.?

Implications!!!


TX

The documents also shows that my attorney entered into agreement with opposing attorney without consent. The opposing atty drew up agreement. signed it and faxed over to my atty on 17th. My atty went before judge and signed. The judge believed this agreement was with my permission. I knew nothing of it. I had already had to pay filing fees and my atty's ($275 hr)fees 2 months ealier to contest this atty being appointed. I would have never known about this attorney except opposing atty recommended her and insisted on her from day one. I do not know why she gave in, because she will not answer question. She still is portraying the judge appt. her. I might add this agreement was made the same day CASA was suppost to request resprensenting my daughter.

Listen, I'm not going to play 20-questions with you.

Either come back and post ALL relevant facts or go elsewhere.

Amicus has been removed>>


TX

Just a quick note Amicus was removed from custody case for conflict of interest. Ex's atty put the final touches to the hearing stating " I would like @#$%^ to stay on because she has some really good information". Judge then had no doubt that the Amicus and ex's atty was sharing/helping each other. My atty has never recvd. a bit of info from Amicus. When all was said and done judge removed her and ask that hrs. be warranted. If not refund in order. Thanks for your time. Sorry, I did not give enough info. Just at end of rope. By the way my atty did not get my consent to enter into agreement with ex atty. My atty was afraid of Amicus because of business relations.
