matter of neville, p.191
bly was not neville's client in regards to this matter. in the end,
neville is disciplined even though bly was sophisticated with
respect to the issues of the transaction and neville was essentially
just a scrivener.

the bachelor pad.

alice and bob, round after round of deal/no deal...

what's the issue with advice?
you are sacrificing a certain measure of success for one client.
you can't advise the other client to make a deal against the other
client because it would be an obvious betrayal/malpractice...

could you explain the implications of multiple representation
to both clients and continue to represent both with a strategy
of total non-cooperation (i.e. stonewall)?

1. don't allow joint representation of multiple defendants in
a situation where they're charged out of the same fact pattern...

it is highly likely that you will fail to give attention to a new set of
circumstances. you are more likely to disregard and give advice to
both clients notwithstanding the changed circumstances.
