David Silver v. Hamrick & Evans, LLP

The California Supreme Court chose not to review a civil appeal case number S256869—from the Second Appellate District, Div. 2, of the California Court of Ap­ peals—case number B287437—and thus the question presented now goes to the United States Supreme Court. Hamrick & Evans, LLP (“Respondent”) knowingly made false statements to the Superior Court and to the Court of Appeals, in violation of Federal Rules of Pro­ fessional Conduct 16-303 “Candor toward the tribu­ nal,” “A. Duties: A lawyer shall not knowingly: (1) make a false statement of material fact or law to a tribunal . . . [or] (4) offer evidence that the lawyer knows to be v-v . false:” Does a lawyer or a law firm deserve to be given a free pass by the lower courts when the lawyer and the law firm make false statements of material facts—not of law—but of facts to not one but two tribunals? 4 ■
