While you can't do anything to prevent your attorney from changing jobs, the Rules of Professional Conduct prevents your attorney for being involved in your case from the other side (this is a clear conflict of interest). The "establishment" would be required to wall him/her off from your case. In the meantime, if you need a referral for a new personal injury attorney, please let me know.

Yes. Sit down with another attorney to take over your case. They can investigate and see what can be done to keep your old attorney from providing confidential information to your adversary.
