Re: lawyer ethics
There are many locations where one may look up info about an attorney but not for purposes of conflict of interest. Each law firm, and attorney is required by the cannons of ethics and disciplinary rules to alert clients to potential conflicts and to
refrain from becoming involved in cases which create a conflict.
For more formal informtion contact the New York office of Court administration, or the New York Bar association. If you wish to find links on line go to the website for the NY court system, casetrac or ecourts.
