Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

Assuming any attorney was foolish enough to join such a charade, they would each face accusations of fault when something went wrong. And it would go wrong with so many 'cooks' in the kitchen. More important to you, you would spend much more on fees this way than hiring one competent attorney for the case.

BTW, multiple names on a litigation pleading generally mean a listing from senior partner down to junior associate in the same firm. Occasionally, two firms might be 'joint' on a large case.

Now, If serious about hiring counsel to help in this, and if this is in SoCal courts, feel free to contact me. I�ll be happy to help if it is a valid case you are willing to fund.

Mr. Nelson's answer is correct, but to answer your specific question, "no" the State Bar does not prohibit the kind of arrangement you lay out, but as Mr. Nelson explains, the practicalities of conducting litigation makes a scheme such as that an absurdity. No attorney is going to expose themselves to joint and several malpractice liability with 10 other attorneys who are not in the same firm, and handing off a case ten times would exponentially increase, not decrease, the cost of the case, making it all the more absurd to consider a scheme like that for a mediocre case.

The only thing two trial attorneys can agree on is what a third one did wrong.
