Who is going to help young man falsely accused of domestic abuse and found guilty by magistrate purely on x partners lies?
As the young man has been convicted, there may be public defenders who can look at the case but no one is obligated to help the young man at all at this stage. Because of due process, while not impossible that the young man was found guilty based solely on lies by an ex, it is unlikely that lies would have been enough to convict without tangible proof.

What happens if your attorney lies to the client?
Unless the witness told the lie from the witness stand during trial while under oath (which would be perjury), nothing would happen. It is not against the law to lie to an attorney - UNLESS - the attorney was appointed to fulfill some judicial or court function such as Arbitration or Mediation. In that case the attorney would be acting in the courts stead, and false testimony/statements would be considered the same as lying to the court.
Can a witness who has been convicted of a crime cannot testify in a criminal case?
Yes, a witness can be convicted, if the offence of perjury is proved against him. Perjury is the offense of knowingly making untrue statements, by a witness, when he is testifying. The punishment may extend to fine or imprisonment or both, it depends on the law of the land. But generally, a witness is not tried for perjury, unless his statements are absolutely false and has a devastating effect on the case. It is also pertinent to mention that if the witness has submitted something, believing it to be true, but afterwards it is proved to be false, then no charge of perjury lies against the witness. Perjury lies attracted only when the witness has submitted some false statements deliberately and intentionally. it does not need an establishment of mens rea (mental intention) showing the inclination of the witness to either of the parties to the litigation.
How does the prosecutor know a witness is lying?
At the time of cross-examination the witness will be caught.Added: By virtue of the ciminal investigation which led to the arrest and charging of the defendant(s), the prosecutor pretty much already knows the facts of the case and can generally tell when a witness's statements stray off into deceptions or outright lies. When a prosecutor questions a witness he is NOT guessing at what the witness's answer might be, he already knows what it should be.
