    Default Told By My Lawyer to Lie, and Caught Lying in Court

    Pa DUI case. Farley holt is my lawyer. In the case the night I was arrested I had been sinking and didn't tell the officer the full story. Before
    Court he tells me the only way I can win is to
    Lie. He makes up a story and tells me exactly what to do. In court I do exactly what he tells me and I'm made out
    To be a liar and charged. I told him from the beginning I cant lie. I'm a horrible liar.
    I did what he told me to do because I paid him how much money to be my attorney and I did what he said
    Walking out of the court he tells
    Me an my wife I shouldn't have told you to lie.
    I'm not looking for a huge bunch of
    Negitives because I know i screwed up and I shouldn't have done that. What was I to do at that point.
    My question is,
    Is it worth it to try and do something about it and is there anything I can do about it
    If needed I can write out the whole
    Entire situation later when I'm
    Off work for a better response

    Me an my wife I shouldn't have told you to lie.
    he is 100% correct. It is called suborning perjury which is both unethical and illegal. He can face charges as well as retribution from his state bar.

    If you have only been charged and not convicted yet, it's time to get a new lawyer and tell him of the situation. If you have been convicted, it may allow you an avenue for an appeal.
    I am not an attorney and any advice is not to be construed as legal advice. You might even want to ignore my advice. Actually, there are plenty of real attorneys that you might want to ignore as well.

    Being his rank and lawyer would it be bad for
    Me to go after a lawyer like that. I know what he did was wrong but I don't want to pay for it in the long run. I wouldn't waste my time if it werent true

    nothing for you to really go after him for. This is an issue for the prosecutor or the state bar to deal with. I believe he should be reported to the proper authorities so they can deal with this as they will. What you do is up to you.
