Hello,
When attorney answers that my case is not for their office to litigate after going over it over the phone, what can that possibly mean? Could that mean that they may represent one of the opposing parties and is that office required to inform me if that is the case?
Answer
I am not licensed in NY therefore I can only speak in general terms. He basically has said that he does not want to represent you. However, based on the rules of professional responsibility he cannot represent the other party in the case. He in essence is "tainted" by the information that you gave him.
Answer
It could mean there is a conflict of interest with the proposed defendant, or it could mean that for some other reason they do not wish to represent you in the litigation you are proposing.

The answer could be a conflict, but more likely they're simply deciding they don't want to handle the matter.
