Abel's attorney, Daniel I. Small, Esq., also represents five individuals, including Berry, whom the Division of Enforcement intends to call as witnesses at the hearing.
Here, however, Small's representation of Abel with respect to subject matters that are substantially related to his representation of the witness clients could result in divided loyalties that will prevent him from fulfilling his duty to act in good faith.
For example, if the witnesses give testimony inconsistent with Abel's theory of defense, that suggests either that the position Small is advocating on behalf of Abel is untrue, or that the testimony being provided by his other clients is untrue.
