Probably not. He will be using personal information he obtained from you during the course of representation to go against you in a separate case. You can file a motion to have him kicked off the case due to an impermissible conflict of interest under Mississippi Rules of Professional Conduct.

It doesn't sound right. Complain to the judge.

Probably not. This is an ethics issue. It depends on what the attorney learned during his representation of you and whether that information is important to the new case.
