an attorney whom i have known for years, an acquaintence
of mine, someone whose home i visited in the past, whom
also came to my house to buy antiques in the past with his
wife, who is my friend, just called me to tell me he was
representinfg a person with whom i was involved. i might
say that this attorneys wife and i are still friends, even
through they are divorced of recent. he may even know we
are still friedns and maybe he does not like that., i don't
really know. anyway, he told me on the phone that i did not
have to listen to him, but if i did not, that this whole
thing would or could? blow up in everyones face. i could
hardly believe this . it sounded like a threat to me right
off. he is representing someone i was with. this attorney
knows me, met my family, knew at length about my past
relationship with my previous man friend. he had even
given me advice in the past, like a friend who cares would
do, i even saw him in his office to help me with something
to do with a patent at one time.i feel this is a huge
conflict of interest. what can you tell me and to whom can
i report this to? phyllis
