San Juan Capistrano, CA asked in Legal Malpractice for California

Q: Have charged PI Atty with Breach/Negligence and now they're using Felony I admitted to on intake form against me

Is it possible to prevent the entire case getting skewed in the wrong direction of playing character reference games versus trying the actual matter? I was honest about having carried the $10,800 on a plane 10 years before and have graduated with 2 degrees since then. They've presented an entire sheet of people with my same name and insinuated they are all me. It's getting out of hand and my exhibits are due along with theirs, which includes the intake form from which I first met with them in underlying case. Also, if they are allowed to bring it up then cant I submit like my Professor's recommendation letters? I've learned much from my mistake but now my nose is being rubbed in it over and over. I seriously need to know what I can do? Atty backdated Agreement and then submitted to force into Arbitration. So this question related to evidence in Arbitration. Thank you for your assistance.

A: Bringing up issues like this is typical.

There are ways to exclude the evidence and this would probably not be admissible at trial.

But it not matter. Confronting the fact and dealing with it can strengthen your case in the hands of a good attorney.
