An attorney cannot directly charge you with perjury; that authority lies with the prosecuting attorney or the state. However, if an attorney suspects you of committing perjury during a legal proceeding, they may report their suspicions to the authorities or the court. Perjury is defined as intentionally providing false information while under oath, and if evidence supports this claim, it can lead to criminal charges. Ultimately, it is up to law enforcement and the legal system to investigate and pursue any potential charges.
