Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Oklahoma
Civil suit, interrogatory answers
We are in a civil suit for damages by an ex-employee who not only stole cattle, hay, feed while employed but also is retaliating against the property by damaging fences, killing cattle. When the attorney submitted the answers to our interrogatories, he erroneously gave them our notes, evidence, witness list w/phone and addresses, personal notes, thoughts, comments. How will this affect the suit overall? Is attorney at fault for this mistake? Case is in Oklahoma. Starts with a breach of lease, then onto damages including possible punitive. Exemployee was father of vet who issued meds to animals without proper documentation. Failed to identify animals in breeding via artificial insemination. The result is an extremely low birth rate for the cattle and losses will take years to recover. Cattle killed and stolen over 2 yr period. Exemployee has coerced others to do some of the damage to cattle, fencing, equipment. Conspiracy? Any suggestions for what to include in proving this case and insure proper proof of damages? Thanks

Re: Civil suit, interrogatory answers
You need to have this conversation with your attorney. It would be unethical for any attorney to discuss your case when you are represented by counsel.
