Hi, I was just wondering if anyone could possibly help me with the following 2 questions. I think I know the answers already just from my own experience when it comes to Defense Attorneys and Clients, but I just want to be sure since this assignment counts for a large portion of my grade. So as a defense attorney, what would you do under the following circumstances?
The first question is; Your client tells you that if you lose the case, his/her friends will harm your family?
The second question is; Your client insists on testifying, even though you believe that it is not in his/her best interest to do so?

1. I would arrest the client for threat. 2. I would talk if out of it but, if he insist, and loses, let him pay the consenquences.

if your client threaten to harm you & your family if you lose the case.dont mind it just do to what you have to do,besides the judge and others will decide.the truth will be discover somehow.
and by threatening you,you can file a charge against his words.
i know it's a tough fight because it will affect your family,but being a lawyer you have to be responsible for the fight of your client.just do your best.
