Question

if i was represented by a lawyer and a diffrent lawyer from the same firm represents someone whom i filed charges against reprents the one i am filing chages against is that a conflict of intrest with that law firm?



Answer

THE RULES OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT GUIDE THE LAWYERS. The issue is likely to be fact sensitive depending upon whether you are a present or former client, whether the matter is substantially related to the matter they represented you in, and a number of other factors. I would certainly raise these issue with the lawyers.
