I am a criminal defense lawyer and I am engaged in negotiations with an assistant district attorney for a plea bargain. During the discussions, the prosecutor advised me that she would amend the bill of information to add more serious charges if the client did not take the plea. Is that unethical, or a violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct?

I am a district judge and before my hearings began, a local borough official was in the courtroom, and came up to talk to me. I knew the person years ago when I was an elected council person. The person mentioned in passing that they were here for one of the litigants. Do I have to recuse myself?

I was recently involved in an estate case where there was a guardian but there was no counsel appointed for the supposed disabled person. Though judges were approving the guardian's fee, the needs of the person did not seem to be met and relatives were not allowed to see the person. Is there a problem with guardianships in Pennsylvania?
