| A lawyer represented a client in a divorce action, and learned substantial facts about the client's close friend and associate. After the divorce case was over, the friend's former wife asked the lawyer to represent her in a spousal support case. The lawyer may do so as long as the lawyer does not use confidential information gained from the client in the first representation. [The Bar did not indicate whether confidential information about the client's "close friend and associate" would be considered such a protected confidence.] |
