Just got a nasty email from a client who lied during her entire deposition accusing me of not rescuing her when defense counsel pressed her on her lies. She also accused me of going behind her back to request medical records from a doctor she testified related new treatment to the accident, who now refuses to see her because he found out about that lie. I’m so over these insane clients.

Give her a chance to fill out an errata sheet and once completed, drop the client. Cannot represent someone that you know to have lied under oath. She will tangle you in a web of lies and your firm will ultimately lose money on her case. Get out while you can.

Is happening more and more everytine. I am working on a case where the client has had 5 mva accidents over the expand of 5 years and we represent him on his third accident. It is just not worth the time and expense on these type of cases. On top of it all, the client wants to take out a loan on his case!!!! On the intake, he lied about the previous cases, and did not tell us about the other post accidents.. not worth it.

Agreed with A1, have her correct her testimony with the errata sheet, file your motion to withdraw. You risk your self to a possible merit less bar complaint or even possibly malpractice suit. It’s not worth it, recognize the red flag clients immediately and drop them.
