My question involves bankruptcy in the state of: Texas
One of the creditors in my bankruptcy coerced me into testifying in his case, a securities case. He said if I sided with him, he would leave my bankruptcy alone. I was under extreme duress so I complied. I told no lies but my testimony was certainly influenced heavily. Can a lawyer do this? Is that ethical or legal? Now he is saying that he wants an extension on my discharge, that if he wins against the defendant then he will not sue me (similarly to the defendants). If he loses then he will sue me, but he wants the extension. I have no idea why? I obviously cannot trust him whatsoever. I want to recant my testimony or inform the arbitration panel I testified before, that I testified under duress and coercion.
Can I get in trouble for this? Would it effect the proceedings?
Please reply quickly, time is of the essence.
