You just said it in your post - the defendant sued the attorney under a separate cause of action, which is exactly what I said to begin with.

You also state Willie would be acting as a plaintiff's attorney, not for defense (omitting the possibility of him taking the case in Mangum's defense so he could counter-sue). First, I was speaking of the defendants filing suit against Mangum first. My point to your response was that no judgment against Mangum would be collectible from her attorney. I stated Willie would have to be successfully sued under a separate cause in order for his property to become vulnerable to a judgment.

Now you present a scenario in which a plaintiff's attorney was sued for malicious process which, as I said, IS a separate cause of action.

In a lawsuit against the players he would be plaintiffs attorney if he represented the accuser, which I doubt would happen. I presented a scenario where in a civil suit after the defendant won, she sued the attorney and won that case as well. That is why I said that a case of this merit could eventually come back to haunt him or any attorney that tried it.

I did not say that any judgment against her would be collectible from her attorney. Never even implied it. I believe any lawsuit by her, even a counter suit, could potentially result in jeopardy to the attorney representing her. I have watched it happen in the case I cited.
