What happens to an attorney who allows his client to make up a story concerning a statement made by a third party on a Protection order? On 8-14-17 a protection order was granted against a friend. On 8-28-17 the order was made permanent. On 8-29-17 it was discovered that not only had this third party not made the statement but that she did not know she had been listed on the order. Her attorney had called the third party for the third time on 8-25-17 (the third party provided screen shots of her call log proving the calls from the attorney) trying to get her to change her story and was told to quit calling and harassing her. The attorney knew 3 days prior to the motion becoming permanent that his client had made the story up and failed to disclose this. This third party statement was key in the granting of the order.
