Q: If I feel that my attorney has misrepresented herself can i tell her how i feel in am email w/o her suing me?
My lawyer stated that she didn't have much experience in employment lawsuits and she needed another attorney to sit in with her in our meetings. Her bio states that she has over 30 years experience in employment lawsuits. she lied. I was never asked if it was okay with me if this person sat in.
A:
If it's a private email then it's not libel or slander. If you call someone something to their face that may be obnoxious but not
slander or libel. If you go around town saying "did you know x is a " then that can be libelous.
You may want to find another attorney--look for a member of CAOC who handles employment issues.
