The act of the attorney filing the contempt motion is only a clerical detail; the important thing is that the party filing the contempt motion has standing for it. Any attorney, in representation of the petitioning party, may file.

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

Generally, it would be the same attorney who filed the lawsuit in the first place but the people can use a different attorney if they wish. The important thing is that you do not allow this to sit too long and lose your rights to self governance.
