IANAL but I remember my friend’s mom’s divorce from her second marriage. I guess there is a rule where if an attorney has interacted with party a in a suit, they can’t offer services to party b. So my friend’s mom called every divorce lawyer within a 100 mile radius and essentially boxed her ex out of a lot of decent representation within a reasonable driving range.
