I'm pretty sure they have been working on setting up this case up before it even went to the courts.Things and questions the plaintiff started asking and having me do seemed weird too at the time.I just found out that he is her attorney.They hv been putting his law firm name instead of his name on the court paperwork.I checked the Attorney # & found it to be his..I am the intervenor in this case and am pretty sure they have been setting up this case way before I intervened knowing I would & setting the stages for my loss.Can this info about Their relationship hv case thrown out?

A: Based on your facts, no ethical rules are violated. You probably need to look at the law dealing with whatever cause of action is involved, but first you have to have standing. Intervenors get thrown out all the time.
