in Ca can a lawyer call and offer his service? From a non profit org, they called and offered to represent me in an Unlawful Detainer case. We signed a contract and filed with court. He betrayed us by sending Discovery to opposing side without going over it with us. Questions were tailored for opposing side and not for us. He did not turn in all docs to us until a friday late afternoon. Without going over the said documents, we trusted him. The trial was on following Monday without his representation. Is this a legal act by a Attorney in Ca?
Oakland lawyer sought us, to offer representing in UD case can he pretend to help our case, only to collect all my defense documents and give them to opposing side? He didn't explain his process and did not return all papers filed until his last day of representation. No explanation or review. This betrayal of trust was devasting because it lead to our losing case! is this legal?
