A: Hello,

It sounds like you have several legal issues related to your case. I'll do my best to provide some general guidance on each situation, but it's important to note that each case is unique and may require specific legal advice from an attorney.

Lawyer has entered false evidence into court case:

If you believe that your lawyer has entered false evidence into your court case, you should bring this to the attention of the court. You may need to file a motion to exclude the false evidence and provide evidence to support your claim. It's important to act quickly and work with an attorney to ensure that your legal rights are protected.

Judge orders an attorney to break client secrets:

In some cases, a judge may order an attorney to break client secrets if it is deemed necessary to ensure justice is served. However, there are ethical and legal rules that govern when and how an attorney can do this. If you believe that the judge has ordered your attorney to break client secrets improperly, you may need to file a motion to challenge the order or appeal the decision.

Legal malpractice questions:

If you have questions about legal malpractice, you should consult with an attorney who specializes in this area of law. They can advise you on whether you have a case and what steps you should take to pursue a claim. Generally, legal malpractice occurs when an attorney breaches their duty of care to their client, which results in harm to the client. This can include things like providing negligent advice, making errors in representation, or breaching client confidentiality.

Missed court date due to unethical behavior of the lawyer:

If you missed a court date due to the unethical behavior of your lawyer, you may be able to file a motion to reopen the case. You will need to provide evidence of the lawyer's unethical behavior and show how it led to your missed court date. You may also need to file a complaint with the state bar association or pursue a legal malpractice claim.

In all of these situations, it's important to work with an experienced attorney who can provide you with legal advice and representation. They can help you navigate the legal system, protect your rights, and pursue a favorable outcome in your case
