Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

What do i do when extortion is being committed by an attorney against me and my former attorney and the one committing extortion conspired against me? Yes strong words but the truth is the truth. It is not a matter of perhaps a misunderstanding or an exaggeration. it is the reality that is currently part of the legal system that for lack of a better term members wish to distance themselves from, and that is exactly why others get away with it. What can I do, I know no one is willing to take this on, and I am attempting to but it is a difficult task. I've been sanctioned already because my former atty was relieved after the roggs were late and by the time it got to the motion to compel Iwas holding the roggs. Any suggestions, i've already responded to the roggs, but have not paid the sanction, and I will not settle under any circumstances, it is what the plaintiff is anticipating. If wego to trial he's exposed and I m not the first he'sdone this to.

Unfortunately, to some extend extortion is allowed. I defended a case where the plaintiff stated unless we settled the defendant could not take his company public as no one would underwrite or invest in a company being sued as to an alleged partnership agreemen, meaning it would not have enough funds to survive.

If you did not tell the judge why you had not filed the responses you might try to get the issue reconsidered if it has not been more than 30 days since the ruling. The Court probably will not bring the issue up for some time.

You do not state what the extortion is so none of us can help you. If your former attorney was being extorted, why would he drop out of the case?
