Leo Spent $250,000 on my case, paid for 10 days of court, confidently passed summery judgement & abandoned 5 days b4 trial

Anti antisemitism by a new manager at a fortune 100 computer company ruined my 15 years of company documented exemplary service. The company covered up my requests for help against the manager. 4 Independent examiners sided 100% in my favor in the underlying workman's compensation case leading to a ...civil case in which Leo Terrel was hired. Leo Terrel Spent $250,000 on my case over 3 years. He conducted 33 depositions. He paid for 10 days of court and confidently passed summery judgement, and then he abandoned my case 5 days before trial. To leave the case he told the judge that he did not know of the 11 tape recordings I had of the defendant, when in fact he used the recordings during some of the depositions. Later, another attorney estimated that Leo Terrell spent $200,000 of his own money and $50,000 of his time in preparing my case over 3 years. He said Terrell even paid $13,000 for 10 days of court time for trial, just days prior to suspeiciously removing himself from the case. I only paid a $5,000 retainer when I hired Terrell. Worthy of inspection are: 1. How can a judge approve Leo Terrell's request to leave me just days prior to trial when in fact he knew that Terrell used the tapes while deposing witnesses? This approval was done in Santa Monica court on record. 2. I had witnesses (my brothers and their wives) sitting in the court room ready to testify that at the start of the case, Terrell instructed them to listen and categories the tape recordings, but the judge did not allow their testimony, telling me that the appropriate introductions were not made. Considering the fact that I'm not an attorney, plus I didn't even know why we were in court, one would expect an HONORABLE judge to delay his judgement and give me time to bring witnesses forward the right way. But instead the judge granted Mr. Terrell's request to leave my case just 5 days prior to trial. Another judge in downtown Los Angeles who found out about this, told me that I should sue Leo Terrell for malpractice. He said this on record in his court room in front of an audience. I couldn't find an attorney to take over my case because I couldn't reopen discovery. The devil interrupted the Garden of Eden, after which G-D gave humanity one chance after another to be good. G-D never got what he wanted from us. The bad in the world causes pain and damage. This has made me what I am today. G-D's warrior with a mission to Significantly Improve the World at any cost.
