Unless there is a problem with the service from your attorney there is no law that says they cannot date.

More information needed. No question that this relationship should have been disclosed to you. You can report this to the State Bar for any disciplinary action that it may take against your attorney but, as far as you are directly concerned, were you damaged by this relationship. Were the results unsatisfactory? You might be able to have whatever court orders were made during this time period vacated because the conflict of interest wasn't disclosed to you.

Nothing unless you think there was bias and damage. See an attorney and explain your theory and how you were harmed and then follow their advise.
