It makes sense to you because you are following the lawyer rules that non-lawyers don't know. But I was not trying to litigate this, I was only tying to show that engineers could not be the 'most-obnoxious' as there was another professions whose formal rules require they be more obnoxious.SteveHGraham wrote:Well, that's terrible.

When it comes to conflicts of interest, as I recall, whoever hired the firm first gets priority. Imagine how you would feel if they booted you over a NEW client.

Not to argue the point but note the lawyer gets to decide what is a conflict of interest. I was not involved in the other dispute and was only trying to get advice on how to file a bankruptcy where neither the law firm nor the internet company had claims on my LLC. But also note that I first used the firm in 1997 and the particular internet firm had not been organized at that time. But I'm sure the lawyers could argue I was not a continuous client so the new internet firm was older. It just again illustrates that as more detail is observed, the more places there are where lawyers have set the rules to their advantage. I expect lawyers are so use to the process they don't even realize that they are being obnoxious.
I've said enough and will not participate in this thread further.
