MOCCIA v. WEISFOGEL

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

Since the defendants established the existence of a prior attorney-client relationship, and that the former and current representation are both adverse and substantially related, the Supreme Court did not improvidently exercise its discretion in disqualifying the plaintiffs' law firm from further representation of the plaintiffs ( see, Solow v. Grace Co., 83 N.Y.2d 303, 308; Mondello v. Mondello, 118 A.D.2d 549; Schmidt v. Magnetic Head Corp., 101 A.D.2d 268).
