If an attorney die that had your case in the past can you select another attorney in the same firm? Would that still be a conflict of interest?

More details to this question:
I was terminated for thief can I file a lawsuit in court myself? I have my right to sue letter from EEOC which I only have 90 days to file. Due to filing a Discrimination complaint with EEOC the employer retaliated by firing me for thief/fraudulent reasons. The employer never took me to court for thief. I was never giving any verbal,or written warnings for thief.Also I received my employment benefits from employmeny security workforce office. The employer could not prove or show evidence that I stole any time or hours not worked.

Not sure if I understand these two questions. If you were previously represented by an attorney and that attorney died, the other attorneys in his firm would not have a conflict because he died. However, there could be some other conflict. You would need to contact the attorneys in this firm to see if there is a conflict.
