Legal Question in Legal Ethics in California

Is it possible to file a complaint about the opposing party's attorney ( for instance that attorney's threatens and intimidates and also states things to the judge about procedure that are evidently untrue, like that some forms were served when in the case file it is easy to see that is not the case). The judge just believes every word because of the firm.

You can file a complaint with the California State Bar if you think the attorney has violated the State Bar Act or the Rules of Professional Conduct. Making misleading statements to a court of law implicates both of these.

With respect to filing a new lawsuit, arguably, this attorney is the opposing party's attorney, and owes no duties to you.
