Frequently Asked Questions

A woman came to my office for help with her divorce case, but there is another lawyer representing her now. May I speak with her?

Yes, unless you currently represent someone whose interests are adverse to hers. Rule 4.2 does not prohibit a disinterested lawyer from providing a second opinion to someone who is currently represented by counsel.
