Conflict of Interest - Testimony by Plaintiffs Employer/Attorney.

 

December 19, 1984

 

It is not improper for the plaintiff's attorney/employer to continue his

representation of the plaintiff/employee in a personal injury claim,

notwithstanding the intent of defense counsel to call the plaintiff's

attorney as a witness, until it becomes apparent that the testimony of the

plaintiff's attorney is or may be prejudicial to the plaintiff. [ DR:5-

102(B)]
