Understanding a lawyer's conflict of interests

On behalf of Mischel & Horn, P.C. posted in professional disciplinary proceedings for lawyers on Thursday, January 24, 2019.

Though the American Bar Association has rules dealing with lawyer's conflicts on interests, the exact phrase has not been defined. However, when New Yorkers hear the term, one immediately forms negative associations and rushes to judgment against the lawyer in question. But the truth is that not all conflicts of interests disqualify a lawyer or leave them open to disciplinary procedures. Rules exist for this very reason -- to protect clients.
