• explaining that motions to disqualify are disfavored, and stating that “although doubts should be resolved in favor of disqualification, the party seeking disqualification must carry a heavy burden, and must meet a high standard of proof before a lawyer is disqualified”
• denying disqualification motion primarily because “no fee arrangement or retainer agreement was made or discussed, no fee was ever requested from or paid by Seldes, and, moreover, Kenyon [the attorney] appears at no time to have taken direction from Seldes”
