Re: perjury

It is worse in the sense that perjury is a criminal offense and shouldl there be a criminal charge which is sustained it would probably effect the lawyer's license to practice law.

Re: perjury

i do not know what question you are asking. perjury is a crime, but pretty hard to prove.

it seems that you do not have an attorney helping you with this case. that is a huge problem. you will have a much harder time winning without a lawyer.

If you would like, give me a call; I am in northern New Jersey. I will be happy to discuss this with you; the telephone consultation will be free.
