Real Estate Attorney serving Bloomfield Hills, MI
Unless you gave the lawyer permission to rep the witness/client #2, the lawyer has a serious ethical issue:
using the knowledge he gained from representing you to the advantage of client #2 breached his duty of loyalty to you. even though they withdrew, your confidential information is YOURS, not his.
if client #2's interests were adverse to yours, that would be a conflicts of interest breach
they should be reported to Grievance Commission.
