Conflict of Interest - Suit Against Former Client.

 

December 19, 1984

 

It is not improper for an attorney who represented a minor, through his

mother, in a product liability claim, thereafter to represent the minor

against his mother for negligence arising from the same claim so long as

the mother has given her consent after receiving full and adequate

disclosure from the attorney. [ DR:4-101(C)(1), DR:5-105(D)]
