NEAL v. HEALTH NET, INC., B153290
When a lawyer representing a plaintiff is subsequently retained by a former legal secretary for the defendant in the same litigation, there is no presumption that the new client is in possession of confidential information; if confidential information is exposed, disqualification of the attorney is not a proper remedy.
