You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.
File a motion to disqualify the attorney and suggest that it is a breach of ethics based on her prior representation of you in your business. The Florida Bar requires that the attorney get a release or authorization from you in order to represent your wife which you obviously will not agree to.
