How to file a complaint against a Lawyer in VA?

Monday, May 10th, 2010

My ex-business partner & I mutually used a lawyer when times where good. This lawyer stated on multiple occassions that he could not represent me or my partner against each other. However, now that times are bad, this lawyer is assisting my partner in trying to sue me. This lawyer has insider knowledge on me such as, assets, strategy, etc. I have financially compensated this lawyer and have invoices plus record of payment. How can I file a complaint against this lawyer in VA?

Is it unethical for a lawyer to represent a family friend against the family friend’s spouse?

This couple divorced some years ago, and the husband is being represented by a mutual family friend. The couple knew the lawyer in question as they were growing up, and were close friends with the lawyer’s parents. Is this an ethical client-lawyer relationship? This is happening in the state of Florida, if it makes a difference.
