A lawyer cannot let a witness go on the stand if he knows that the witness will lie or if he encourages the witness to lie. It is called quot;subornation perjuryquot;. Testimony by the defendant is included.

An attorney can and will be dis barred if he vilotates client confidentiality under rule4.1 through 4.10. meaning everything you say is between you and the attorney. And you are not guilty until proven the prosecutor has the burden of proof beyond a reasonable dought. Also you state an attorney has a duty to represent his client as the client wish.

And they will listen to you but you do not know the law so let them do their job and they are not going to let you come to so conclusion you can defend your self. Read the information provided below.

Many attorneys, quot;knowquot; their clients are guilty. In such cases they are rarely foolish enough to have that client testify. As for perjury, that is a crime committed by the perjurer, not the defense attorney.
