Asked in CA May 19, 2022 ,  0 answers
I hired an attorney for a personal injury case. He mismanaged the case and I left him after 17 months. I retained another attorney for this case. Then I posted a poor review on a website about the 1st attorney and he is now suing me for libel. Mind you the personal injury case is not settled yet. I'm in the discovery phase of the libel suit and the attorney is requesting info on the personal injury case thru interrogatories and requests for admissions. Is this proper and ethical? I stood on attorney/client privledge and now he's filed a motion to compel.

You've already messed up by representing yourself. A smart attorney representing you would have already filed a special motion to strike at the outset (SLAPP) and been able to recoup your attorney's fees.

Do yourself a favor and get an attorney. You could end up making things worse.
