"Justin L. Gordon" Date: April 29, 2026 11:15:00 AM Subject: Re: Isn't it unethical for Client's former D Attorney To Testify Against Client Interests? Reply to list Reply to sender Print I don’t know the answer but see you’re hanging here, so I pulled it on Westlaw AI hopefully helpful Summary In California, a defense attorney generally cannot voluntarily serve as an expert witness adverse to their own insurance company client — or former client — in a bad faith case arising from the same underlying bodily injury representation. California's Rules of Professional Conduct impose a strict duty of loyalty and confidentiality that bars such testimony when the matters are substantially related and the attorney had access to confidential information. Courts have consistently disqualified attorneys who attempt to serve in this dual capacity. Go to Report contents The Ethical Bar: California Rules of Professional Conduct The primary legal barrier is California Rules of Professional Conduct Rule 3-310(E) (now recodified as Rule 1.9), which prohibits an attorney from accepting employment adverse to a client or former client where, by reason of the prior representation, the attorney has obtained confidential information material to the new engagement. This rule applies with full force when a former defense attorney seeks to serve as an expert witness against the insurer that retained them to defend the underlying bodily injury case. In Brand v. 20th Century Ins. Co./21st Century Ins. Co., 124 Cal.App.4th 594 (2004) , the California Court of Appeal held that an attorney was barred from testifying as an expert witness against an insurer in a bad faith and breach of contract action because the attorney had previously been personally involved in providing legal advice and services to that insurer on matters substantially related to the current litigation. The attorney had previously rendered numerous coverage opinions for the insurer on claims issues — including mold infestation claims — and had also defended the insurer against other insureds' bad faith claims. Even though twelve years had passed since the prior representation, the court found the passage of time insufficient to overcome the presumption that the attorney had acquired confidential information during the previous representation. This case establishes that serving as an expert witness constitutes "adverse" representation subject to Rule 3-310(E), and the substantially related test governs disqualification. The same principle was reaffirmed in the recent decision Sheehy v. Chicago Title Ins. Co., 108 Cal.App.5th 178 (2025) , where the court addressed the exclusion of an insured's expert witness — a former claims counsel for the defendant insurer — on the ground that the State Bar Rules of Professional Conduct prohibited the expert from testifying adversely to the insurer. The court treated Brand v. 20th Century Ins. Co./21st Century Ins. Co., 124 Cal.App.4th 594 (2004) as the controlling authority on this recurring tension between an expert's qualifications (often enhanced by prior insider knowledge) and the ethical prohibition on adverse use of that knowledge. Similarly, in Farris v. Fireman's Fund Ins. Co., 119 Cal.App.4th 671 (2004) , the Court of Appeal disqualified an attorney from representing an insured in a bad faith case where the attorney had previously served as California coverage counsel for the insurer over a decade, had shaped its claims handling practices and procedures, and had worked closely with senior claims personnel — all of whom would likely be key witnesses in the bad faith action. The court reasoned that coverage disputes and bad faith actions are substantially related because they both turn on the same core issue of whether coverage exists under the policy. Go to Report contents The Bad Faith Litigation Context Your intuition is correct: this issue arises predominantly in insurance bad faith cases. In California, an insurer may defend itself against bad faith allegations by asserting that it relied in good faith on the advice of competent counsel State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co. v. Superior Court, 228 Cal.App.3d 721 (1991) . When an insurer raises this advice-of-counsel defense, it opens the door to discovery of defense counsel's communications and litigation file. In Glacier Gen. Assurance Co. v. Superior Court, 95 Cal.App.3d 836 (1979) , the court held that the attorney-client privilege did not bar an insured from discovering the entire litigation file of the attorney who represented both the insurer and the insured in the underlying malpractice action, in a subsequent bad faith failure-to-settle case, because California Evidence Code § 962 recognizes that joint clients may access privileged communications between them and shared counsel. Thus, while defense counsel's files and communications may become discoverable in bad faith litigation, that is a very different question from whether that same defense attorney can voluntarily step forward as an expert witness against the insurer. The former is compelled disclosure; the latter is a voluntary adverse act that triggers the Rule 3-310(E)/Rule 1.9 prohibition. It is also worth noting that not every attorney is qualified to offer expert opinions on insurance company claims-handling practices. In California Shoppers, Inc. v. Royal Globe Ins. Co., 175 Cal.App.3d 1 (1985) , the Court of Appeal held that an attorney was not qualified to testify as an expert on insurance company practices merely because he was a highly qualified trial attorney who frequently litigated against insurers, where no foundation was laid showing he had special knowledge, skill, experience, training, or education in insurance company practices — and notably, he had never been employed or retained as counsel by an insurance company. Go to Report contents Practical Implications The irony of the Brand / Sheehy line of cases is that the attorneys most qualified to opine on the reasonableness of an insurer's defense strategy and claims-handling conduct — those who actually worked inside the insurer's operations — are precisely those most likely to be ethically barred from doing so. A plaintiff's bar seeking an expert on the reasonableness of an insurer's litigation decisions in the underlying bodily injury case must find someone with genuine industry experience, but who did not previously represent the specific insurer at issue in a substantially related matter. Go to Report contents Commentary on This Question A defense attorney’s role entails a fiduciary duty requiring loyalty and competent representation toward the client, with ethical rules prohibiting conflicts of interest that undermine client interests. A defense attorney acting as an expert witness adverse to their own client—especially on issues like the reasonableness of the defense or basis for a defense strategy—invites conflict of interest concerns and potential breach of fiduciary duty. While national case law and ethical rules emphasize conflicts when an attorney’s duty to a client diverges from their own interests or those of others (e.g., insurers), there is recognition that defense counsel’s conduct and strategic decisions may be scrutinized in professional negligence or bad faith contexts. Expert testimony about an attorney’s conduct should typically come from independent counsel unconnected to the party to avoid bias and uphold ethical standards. However, cases demonstrate that attorneys may be called upon as experts by clients in malpractice suits, but adverse representation or testifying against one’s own client risks ethical violations and claims of breach of loyalty. According to California-specific guidance on professional malpractice, an attorney owes a duty of skill and diligence judged by an objective standard, with liability arising when conduct falls below this standard and causes client harm CAPROFR CH 6(II)-A . Legal malpractice claims require expert proof of breach and causation, underscoring the sensitive role of expert testimony and the importance of conflict-free representation CAPROFR CH 6(II)-A . In bad faith cases involving insurers, conflicts may arise when defense counsel’s duties to the insured and insurer diverge, notably regarding settlement decisions and exposure to excess judgments. Some authorities caution that defense counsel’s duty to the insured mandates loyalty that cannot be subordinated to insurer interests, and breaches may support bad faith claims against insurers or attorneys 21 AMJUR TRIALS 229 . An attorney’s exposure to malpractice liability is heightened when failing to settle claims or adequately advise clients of risks, and expert testimony often critically evaluates these decisions 46 AMJUR TRIALS 325 . Ethical and professional standards generally bar a defense attorney from acting as an expert adverse to their own client due to inherent conflicts, especially where the testimony would critique the reasonableness of the defense strategy or conduct, which is at core of the attorney-client relationship. This scenario typically arises in bad faith or malpractice claims, where independent experts are preferred to preserve ethical duties and maintain procedural fairness 39 COA2d 671 .

I'm not doing the bad faith, but our bad faith attorney wants to object in advance of the deposition. My gut is to wait for the deposition and ask what exactly D attorney will testify to before declaring some ethical breach or actual conflict of interest.

By the way, did you not challenge the motion to compel arbitration? The landmark case Jaramillo v. JH Real Estate Partners, Inc., 111 Cal.App.4th 394 (2003) directly addressed this exact scenario. The court held that an arbitration provision in a residential lease requiring arbitration of personal injury disputes was unenforceable on multiple grounds. First, the court found the provision unconscionable due to lack of bilaterality—personal injury claims arising from premises conditions are "largely, if not exclusively, tenant claims," making the arbitration clause one-sided Jaramillo v. JH Real Estate Partners, Inc., 111 Cal.App.4th 394 (2003) . Additionally, the court noted that such provisions violate Civil Code § 1953(a)(4), which prohibits residential lease agreements from waiving tenants' procedural rights in litigation. However, the analysis becomes more nuanced depending on whether the personal injury claim relates to the tenant's rights and obligations as a tenant. In Williams v. 3620 W. 102nd Street, Inc., 53 Cal.App.5th 1087 (2020) , the Court of Appeal clarified that Civil Code § 1953(a)(4) invalidates arbitration provisions "to the extent they sought to bind tenants to arbitrate" claims "involving [their] rights and obligations as a tenant." Personal injury claims arising from dangerous conditions on the premises—such as mold, defective common areas, or premises liability—would typically involve tenant rights and thus be protected by § 1953(a)(4). The courts have distinguished between core tenancy-related personal injury claims and those involving non-core property functions. In Lewis Operating Corp. v. Superior Court, 200 Cal.App.4th 940 (2011) , the Court of Appeal upheld an exculpatory clause (not arbitration) for injuries in an apartment complex's exercise facility, suggesting that personal injury claims unrelated to core residential tenancy functions might be treated differently. However, this case involved liability waivers rather than arbitration agreements, and the Civil Code § 1953(a)(4) analysis for arbitration remains more restrictive. From: Rosevart Nazarian, MBA, Esq.

It's probably not possible.  The data on the iPhone device itself is encrypted so you would need the password, or a "Legacy Contact" if the decedent set one up (pretty unlikely), to decrypt and access the data on the phone.

Dear Colleagues, I am writing to share important information regarding the billing and collection practices of Dr. Eskenazi. While our firm ceased referring clients to this provider many years ago due to excessive billing and aggressive lien amounts, we are currently resolving several residual cases involving his services. We have recently learned that Dr. Eskenazi is selling his liens to an attorney in Las Vegas, John Gordon, who is employing particularly aggressive collection tactics. In a recent matter that settled for a $15,000 policy limit, they demanded $2,800 for a single visit. Please keep these practices in mind when selecting medical providers for your clients. “Dictated using voice recognition but not checked, please excuse any transcription errors” Regards, Michael B.
