My wife and I are currently represented in a suit against
a contractor.
Is it a conflict of interest and/or illegal

Re: Represenation Conflict Of Interest
The attorney who represents both of you in the civil case should not represent one party versus the other as such representation would be adverse to one of his current clients, namely the other party. Both the husband and the wife should obtain new counsel for the new matter. I offer free consultations.
