3-Multiple Representations on the Same Matter

73-Family Law Lawyers

A lawyer representing grandparents with custody of a child may not represent the child's mother if her interests are adverse to those of the grandparents. It is proper to represent multiple clients if their interests are not adverse and if all clients consent.
