Legal Question in Family Law in California

My husband and I are separated. Prior to separation we hired a lawyer to handle our mortgage refi and paid him a retainer. He (the attorney) didn't follow through with the refi and owed us our retainer. Now my husband has hired him to handle our divorce and is using the retainer WE gave him. Isn't this a conflict?

Sure is. Report him to the State Bar.

I agree. You may have to also move to disqualify him from representing your husband in the divorce.
