- disqualifying counsel because of his “extensive personal involvement in every aspect of the underlying controversies”
- granting motion to disqualify counsel where he was personally involved in “every aspect of the underlying controversies that led to this lawsuit,” and his “unique personal interest in this case presents an endless parade of likely conflicts of interest”
