A man is intoxicated and drives, wrecking and later sues the other party involved. There is NO proof that the man was intoxicated, not from police reports or the hospital, and he admits to the lawyer about online pharmacy no prescription needed being drunk. The man says he will lie in court if needed to win his civil case. What should the lawyer do, in order to abide by the ABA model ethical rules of professional conduct?
