It's unusual for the work of a lawyer's parents to create a conflict of interests for her. What's more, both the lawyer and her parents seem to be allied with the landlord in this case. I don't see how there could be a conflict. If I knew more about the case, it's possible that I would see things differently.

Doesn't sound like a conflict to me.
