SPOILER
When Tony and Carmine are getting divorced, Tony consults with every lawyer in town, creating a conflict of interest and not allowing Carmine to use them.

- bee_rider 4y agoAlthough — I’ve only seen this on, like, other online chitchats so take it with a heap of salt, but — I’m under the impression that the main thing accomplished if someone tried these sorts of antics in real life would be a reasonably pissed off judge with reason to believe that one party wasn’t engaging with the legal system in good faith.
- strix_varius 4y agoI have personal experience with this. Small town. Handful of law firms. None of them would take a case against a local small business because they all had some kind of relationship with that business. The case was strong, and I had no trouble hiring a reputable firm one town over to litigate, but it was inconvenient and one can imagine a scenario in which there is no "one town over" with alternatives.
